Venue Comments

The Lyric Theatre and Roxy Gardens, Maylands were owned and operated by separate managements till 1934, when the Robinsons took over the operation of the theatre as well as the gardens. After that, despite the distance between them they were operated as a single enterprise, with screenings in one or the other depending on the weather. This continued until the Lyric closed in June 1961.The Lyric building became first an electrical goods showroom, then a growers' market, and in 1997 was a Red Shield Op-shop. The upstairs pool parlour was leased out as a flat in recent years.
