Description

DescriptionLong Tack Sam was a Chinese magician who visited Australia frequently through the 1920s and 1930s. This stage design may have been for a performance at the Wintergarden Theatre. In 1925, the Wintergarden Theatre was built in East Street for Birch, Carroll and Coyle. The architect was H. E. White. The theatre seated 2000 people, had a promenade floor, two palm courts, two theatre boxes and an upper gallery. It was a silent film theatre until 1929 when a Vitaphone sound system was installed.
