Summary

Hindley Street, Adelaide, north side, in October, 1890. A group of men lean on a lamp-post in front of the Theatre Royal. Another group in top hats are about to enter through the 'Dress Circle' door, whilst a horse and buggy stand in the foreground. A billboard in front of the theatre advertises 'The Candidate', a comedy by Harry Saint Maur (in which he also starred) starting on November 4th; probably in 1886 as this production played at the Melbourne Theatre Royal in October in that year. Built in 1878, replacing a theatre built in 1868, it was eventually demolished in 1962 by Miller Anderson and Co., an Adelaide department store which erected a car park on the site. Extreme right of the photograph is 50 yards west of Gresham Street. Extreme left is 2 yards east of Peel Street.
