Here we see arranger and piano accordion player Maurice Paul with singer Betty Lorraine...members of Sunny Brooks' band...the pic was evidently taken on their arrival in Sydney on 23rd April, 1935...

collection.powerhouse.com.au/object/388328 - link to the slide at the PHM...scroll down to read the blurb in the description...the main title is misleading/incorrect

collection.powerhouse.com.au/object/388335 - the group pic of the Sunny Brooks band...

The King St tracks are for cable cars (slot in the middle) but the tram looks like an electric !

The scan of this slide at the PHM is somewhat better than this overexposed Flickr version...so you can see more detail...the scan at the PHM also includes some of the fragments missing on the Flickr version...

collection.powerhouse.com.au/object/28636 - link to the slide at the PHM...

One clue re the date is the Royal Exchange Hotel at the SE cnr George/King Sts...in the PHM version you can see that the signage has it as 'Belfield's Hotel'...amateur billiards champion Jack Belfield was licensee from 1904-19...so the earliest date has to be 1904...

On the NE cnr George/King Sts, we see the new building extension erected for W.T. Waters & Co, women's drapers, in the second half of 1903...

Compare with this pic that appeared in the Town & Country Journal on 30th September, 1908...

Also compare with this earlier ca. 1900 pic showing the Royal Exchange Hotel
