The Group for Construction of the Little George Theatre was established in 1920 that set an objective of acquiring finance for construction of a modern temple of Thalia. Because money was gathered only slowly for this purpose, the theatrical association decided to accede at least to modernization of the existing theatre that was carried out according to the design by Oldřich Kerhart.
