Actually the Tivoli Theatre was half way up Albert St between Adelaide and Anne St not on the corner , I do remember the old square as that was where they used to bring the fellow doing National Service from Wacol and drop them off in front of the Theatre and they would have to be at the front of the City Hall near the Statue of King George to get the buses back to Camp. WE have lost several of the "good" theatres and the Newsreel one under what was the Telegraph building in Queen Street, the facade of which is still incorporated into the facade of the Myers Centre in Queen Street. There is nothing to indicate in Elizabeth St to indicate where the Theatre Royal was, nor old Skating Ring where the pathways are for the Art Gallery and leading to the State Library Building on the River bank.

Let me ask this. Do you remember when we had coloured water fountains, numerous famous statues, a World class square (not like the thing we have now) and cars that could pass the front of the City Hall in both directions separated by the fountains where as children we would stand and watch them change colour and watch the different patterns? For those who remember all this will also know where the Tivoli was. Colin ======= Email scanned by PC Tools - No viruses or spyware found.

Barbara I should have put some comers in my reply as I did not say that it was on the corner as I said it was opposite the city hall.
