    It was Saturday, 4 August 1928 (am), and in George Street, Sydney (the newspaper could be wrong?). From the SMH of 03/08/1928 p.14 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16483960 .


    " NAVY LEAGUE SEA SCOUTS
    More than 200 Navy League sea cadets will be the guests of the directors of Hoyt's Theatre de Luxe tomorrow morning at a screening of "The Life of Nelson." Led by Birchgrove Band the cadets will march from West Circular Quay to the theatre in George-street. "

    Aha! The cadets could not have marched from Circular Quay to NORTH Sydney - the Harbour Bridge was not yet built !

    "Nelson" (1926) - www.imdb.com/title/tt0017199/

    The SMH (06/08/1928) film critic panned it ! - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16484519

    From the The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday 27 July 1938 page 6 . . . Theatrical Ball. As the majority of the 1,000 dancers who attended the Theatrical Midnight Ball at Mark Foy's last night, were unable to be there until after their work, the dance started at 11 p.m. and ended at 4 a.m. The ball, which was arranged by the theatrical employees in city and suburban theatres, was in aid of the building fund for a convalescent home for theatrical employees.
