BiographyHistory

Cedric Johnson's name has first been identified as manager of several Melbourne suburban cinemas during the early to mid-1910s. In October 1915 he engaged Huxham's Serenaders to play at the Follies Theatre, St Kilda, and over the next two years also produced the troupe's tours of Victoria and Tasmania. His career as a theatrical manager/entrepreneur later involved the proprietorship of such companies as Vogues and Vanities (1919-21) and the New Ideas (1922-23). Johnson likely turned to real estate management in 1924, initially as the Melbourne Sub-divisions Company's representative for its Corio Estate in Geelong.
