Handbill for the Mabel Hardinge Dramatic Company production of 'Hans the Boatman' at the Port Town Hall. 'The Mabel Hardinge Dramatic Company always draws a large house at Port Adelaide and when Hans the Boatman was staged on Wednesday evening in the local town hall it was no exception to the rule. Every part of the house was packed, and the musical three-act comedy was thoroughly appreciated by all. The play was carried out under the personal supervision of Miss M. Hardinge, who as an actreas is a distinct favorite at the chief seaport. She played the part of Thomas Jefferson Thursby (Jeffle) and acquitted herself admirably. She rendered several vocal items, and at the conclusion of each received unbounded, applause.' [Daily Herald 29 September 1910]

Decorations for the 'Prehistoric Cabaret'
This 14 foot high model of a Tyrannosaurus Rex was conceived and made by Doug Mackenzie, with the assistance of members of the Glenelg Apex Club, for the 'Prehistoric Cabaret' held in the Glenelg Town Hall on 27 March 1953. The dinosaur was brilliantly painted by Eric J. Field and photographed by Ross J. Rainsford. The sound effectes were by Bob Malin. In the background, beneath the 12 foot wing span of a hovering Pteranodon, can be seen part of the 200 feet of 5 foot high painted scenery depicting life in prehistoric times as portrayed by volunteer Adelaide artists. The scenery was illuminated by a continuous string of festoon lighting concealed beneath a cardboard pelmet. The hall above remained in darkness creating the illusion that the onlooker was actually surrounded by the pre-historic landscape. The awe-inspiring, towering image of Tyrannosaurus Rex, illuminated by an eerie green spotlight, dominated the scene. Part way through the evening, with dancing in full swing, a devastating, thunderous roar, comprised of a mixture of the roaring of lions and other jungle denizens, burst at full volume from a large speaker concealed in the throat of the monster. So shocked were a number of the dancers that they immediately fell flat on the floor and it was indeed fortunate that no one suffered a heart attack. During a following pause a desperate sounding announcer shouted "Quick, he's hungry. He won't stop roraring until you throw money into his mouth". We only dared to try this stunt once more during the evening which resulted in a considerable amount of money being ingested by the monster. Unfortunately it proved almost impossible to get it all out as most of it was caught between the wire mesh lining and the Papier-Mache skin. For a number of years following this event coins were often excreted every time the monster was disassembled. [Text by Doug Mackenzie].
