Abstract/Description	HERBERT BOLAND (1885-1948) Film exhibitor, circuit proprietor, businessman, theatre lessee and company director. In 1907, aged 22, Herbert Boland took control of the Crown Theatre, Wollongong (NSW). He later established a circuit of regional venues called South Coast Picture Theatres. Forced to lease the circuit to Union Theatres (later Greater Union) in 1928 due to ill-health, Boland moved to Sydney. In 1931 he became a sleeping partner with Mike Connors and Queenie Paul (Con-Paul Theatres), which effectively kept the Tivoli circuit operating during the Depression. One of his final theatrical ventures included leasing the Haymarket Theatre in Sydney.
