Horse drawn trams, so before 1900.

1892 In a major step forward, some 78 electrically powered lampposts were installed along Oâ€™Connell St, Oâ€™Connell Bridge, Westmoreland St, Dâ€™Olier St, College St, College Green, Grafton St, Dame St, Parliament St, Mary St and Henry St. These were the first electric lamps ever to light Dublinâ€™s main streets and were powered from a new station at Fleet St. This project also seems to have been the first unified lighting scheme for the city centre. Quite American in design, these were the tallest lampposts ever erected on Oâ€™Connell St to date. They featured long elegant columns rising out of a typical fluted base and were capped with a hurricane-like lamp â€“ the glass globe suspended from a hooped frame and powered by the cable entering its underside from the top of the shaft. Some, if not all also featured a mesh-like wire over the globes. ...
From archiseek.com/forum/topic/dublin-street-lighting/ But before the swan-necked electric lamps introduced in 1903 ?

nice capture!

The poster on the tram (see note) for "ROYAL OLIVETTE" might be for this 1879 comic opera, popular in the 1880s. Might provide a date via old newspapers ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_noces_d%27Olivette
Niall McAuley said:
beachcomber australia I'm thinking Royal Olivette must have been a product rather than a show - no room for theatre, times or dates here. Something from the folks who brought us Royal custard?

Don Nicol (1906-1949) was a popular stage actor, entertainer and comedian. Nicol, whose real name was Daniel (Danny) Robert McNicol, first appeared on the stage at the age of 16. In 1946 he toured country towns for J. C. Williamson as the show's leading comic. [1] [2]

As for the "sparse dressing rooms" ;) interestingly Don Nicol was the Vice President of Actors' Equity Australia in 1944. Actors' Equity was a driving force in improving working conditions for actors, assuring -- just for one example -- that hot water be provided in dressing rooms -- likely not an issue at Theatre Royal, but could be in "country theatres". [3] [4]

It looks like a cold water sink behind the chorus girls!

Sadly it may be.

(There's always a chorus girl blocking the view of the important stuff!)
