E. J. Carroll
Appearance
(Redirected from E.J. Carroll)
Edward John Carroll (28 June 1874 - 28 July 1931), better known as E. J. Carroll, was an Australian theatre and film entrepreneur. He produced several films of Snowy Baker and Raymond Longford and helped establish Birch, Carroll and Coyle.[1] Difficulties in securing international distribution for his films turned him away from production towards exhibition.[2]
He was a partner, with his brother Daniel Joseph "Dan" Carroll (1886–1959) and Harry G. Musgrove (died 1951) in the Carroll-Musgrove partnership which, with financial assistance from George Marlow, founded the magnificent Prince Edward Theatre on Castlereagh Street, Sydney.
