       the work of Marian Hall Best, acclaimed
       Australian designer, and Janet Single. On
       each side of a divided staircase leading to the
       Mezzanine Lounge were a small ticket box and
       stalls entrance.

       The Mezzanine Lounge was a vast space
       where exposed beams thrust upwards beneath
       the Dress Circle; décor was in a pronounced
       oriental motif.
       A large candy bar stood along the eastern wall
       as did the toilets. Two split-level staircases led
       to the Dress Circle and projection box at the
       rear.
