Further Information Produced by the Adelaide Literary Theatre, a precursor of the Adelaide Repertory Theatre. Between 1909 and 1910 they moved between Walkerville and Unley Town Halls. The venue given above is a guess. See http://www.pacsa.asn.au/pac/cf/compinfo.cfm?id=13. It would appear that this performance is incorrectly identified by Irvin and others as the first performance.
