ERRATA IN CINEMARECORD #96

Tivoli Theatre, Brisbane, a few days before its opening on 15 May 1915 Tivoli Theatre, Brisbane, a few days before its opening on 15 May 1915
On pages 7 and 8 of CinemaRecord #96, in Les Tod’s
article on Brisbane’s Tivoli and Roof Garden theatres,
incorrect photographs of the interiors of these theatres were
inadvertently published.

The correct images of the Tivoli Theatre, which should
have been published, are shown above, and that of the Roof
Garden Theatre is shown at the left.

The incorrect photograph on page 7 of CinemaRecord #96
was, in fact, the auditorium of Brisbane’s Her Majesty’s
Theatre, and that on page 8 was of the Ipswich
Wintergarden Theatre.

We apologise for this error.
