The managing directors of General Theatres Corporation of Australasia Ltd. announce that a lease has been signed with Interstate Properties Ltd. for the erection of the Prince of Wales Theatre on the old Tivoli Theatre site In Castlereagh-street. Already the demolishers are at work and, according to present plans, this theatre will be open at Easter.

The new Prince of Wales Theatre will be erected following General Theatres Corporation's plan to develop moderate-sized intimate theatres for the purpose of presenting British pictures of special merit for extended seasons.

MODERN DESIGN

Last week the corporation opened the Mayfair Theatre in Bourke-street, Melbourne, for the same purpose, and the construction of the Prince of Wales Theatre will link with the Mayfair Theatre, Melbourne, in the general releasing plans.

The design of the Prince of Wales will be of the most modern nature, and modernistic decoration will be introduced. Special attention is being given to the seating, which will be ample. A large number of semi-lounges will be supplied. The method of projection will be of the very latest form and will include the new wide-range devices for the reproduction of sound.
