Disher Personality of Alhambra 20 In 1930 Oscar Deutsch decided to build a Theatre at Perry Barr... The problem of finding a distinctive name for the Theatre was discussed. Eventually, one of the Directors who had been travelling on the Continent, and in Greece, suggested that it should be called the Odeon, not only because Odeon stood for all that was best in entertainment in the days when Greece was the centre of civilisation, but because the first three letters of the name Odeon coincided with those of Oscar Deutsch's name.
