Description | "This excellent [new Tivoli], by far the largest public building in the colony outside Perth, was crowded to excess, and the whole programme was thoroughly enjoyed... The comic element was well represented by Mr. W. B. Warner and Mr. Joe Cowan, each of whom recited humorous pieces in characteristic fashion." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
