Notes | The first theatre in Cairns designed to show films was built in Spence Street, Cairns in 1912. Known as the Lyric Theatre it was designed by Cairns based architect E. Gregory Waters. In addition to showing films the Lyric Theatre was the venue for various concerts and circus performances. It closed soon after to be reopened as the Royal Pictures, and then before 1913 there was another name change to Palace Theatre. In coming years there was a further name change to Austral Theatre before the building was destroyed by fire in 1923. | |
