Summary

Shakespeare Tavern, Gilles Arcade, Adelaide. 'In Gilles Arcade the old Shakspeare Tavern, with communication to all parts of the Queen's Theatre, was a flourishing place of entertainment in the 1840's. In May, 1843, a brilliant banquet was held in the auditorium as a public welcome to Jacob Montefiore - a Commissioner of Colonisation in South Australia, appointed by William IV. The whole of the theatre was transformed into a dinner room, and is said to have been graced by Governor Grey as well as the beauty of South Australia.'
