• Vesna Verencevic said:

  In the 1940s Brisbane was just a big country town and the thousands of Australian and American servicemen who suddenly poured into the camps and bases around the city and the other major centres provided an audience for mass entertainment and gave the experience a new intensity, whether it was ballroom dancing at Cloudland, cutting a rug at the Trocadero or enjoying vaudeville at the Cremorne.

Dance students of Marjorie Hollinshead in Centennial Hall Brisbane Queensland 1927

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Centennial Hall (Brisbane) Centennial Hall opened in 1888 and was located in Adelaide Street, between Albert and Edward Streets (where the present day Reserve Bank of Australia building is located). Its entrance faced the Brisbane Arcade. Its remodel with a design by Lange Leopold Powell in the 1920s[12] emphasised Art Deco decoration and the building included marble stairs and a flat auditorium floor which could seat 700 people when not in use as a dance hall. It had a gallery area which could also seat 300 people if a floor show was playing that evening.[13] Shops operated in the lower level of the building. It operated as a skating rink in the 1880s and music hall venue in the 1890s. It was operated as a bioscopy theatre from 1906-1919 and a vaudeville venue from 1940-1941. It became known as the Cocoanut Grove Ballroom after 1941,[1] and was popular with US soldiers. Fire damaged the building in April 1942. Cocoanut Grove later became known as Birdland.[4] Programs from productions at the Centennial are held in the Fryer Library of the University of Queensland.[14]" Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Halls_of_Brisbane_in_the_twen...
