Hi Bev, If my memory is correct, there was a Tivoli Theatre on Albert Street, opposite the City Hall. That's all gone now, of course, we have that hot square instead. The Tivoli was a picture theatre,with an open air seating on the upper level. I've just found this link: http://dlibrary.acu.edu.au/staffhome/siryan/academy/theatres/Bris_tivoli.htm Google and you will find some more, Cheers, Jill

Thank you Kerry, Barbara and Jill, I think I shall phone the Archives. Hubby's grandfather worked on the Tivoli and according to the site that Jill sent work began in 1914. Which must be when g.father wrote in his diary works that had to be done. Besides that he has a list of costing's which must have had something to do with setting up house in Brisbane after immigrating as the diary itself was for 1908-1909 Bed £4 10s Bolster £ 3s 6d.
