    Post 1905 anyway for the trams are electric. I can't add anymore apart from this streetview maps.google.com/maps?q=Great+victoria+Street,+Belfast&...
  • John Spooner said:
    Can't help with the Palace, but Mr Chas Majiltons's celebrated company performed Geo R. Sims' famous farcical comedy "the Gay City" (which has achieved an Enormous Success throughout the Country) from Sept 11th - 16th 1882 at the New Theatre Royal. (Private Boxes 40s, 30s, 25s and 20s; Balcony Stalls 4s; Upper Circle 2s; Pit 1s; Gallery 6d.) (Belfast Newsletter.) So 'The Trippers' wasn't his first trip to Belfast

    Michiel2005 I don't believe it! Younger brother of Harry Houdini - that's excellent.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Robin Parkes Thanks Robin. I've a hunch around 1910, but now we know definitely post-1905.

    From the also excellent Dictionary of irish Architects: Building: CO. DUBLIN, DUBLIN, HENRY STREET, NO. 024 (COLISEUM OR PREMIER PALACE THEATRE) Date: 1913-15 Nature: New theatre. With Francis Bergin. Opened, 5 Apr 1915. Destroyed in 1916. Refs: Drawings in OPW, formerly Cabinet E; IB 55, 7 Jun,16 Aug,13 Sep 1913, 383,536,595; 56, 27 Mar,10 Apr 1915, 141,168; Freeman's Journal, 17 Mar 1915. Is the Freeman's Journal online?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    24 Henry street is now this Champion Sports store, and is indeed directly opposite Moore Street, here on the OS 25" map. It's all wrong for this picture, which is on a street corner with tram tracks (Henry street had no trams).
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Browsed through 17 March 1915 edition of the Freeman's Journal but could find no mention of the theatre. However, this is the description of the (3,000 seater) Coliseum in the Irish Times on Wednesday, 31 March 1915: "... The main entrance will be in Henry street, where there is an imposing facade, designed in Neo-Grec style, executed in white glazed Carrara ware. The iron and glass verandah projecting over the footway has been designed to harmonise with this facade, and the glass to this and thw whole of the windows will be in coloured decorative leaded work. " Does that sound like a description of this building? And could it possibly hold 3,000?!

    Clearly the Cork Coliseum, see reference to Cork ales and "Opera House"
  • Niall McAuley said:
    McCurtain Street, Cork, (formerly King Street), site of the Coliseum Picture Theatre, on the other hand, did have tram tracks
