Venue Comments
Data from http://cinematreasures.org/ The Australian Hall was originally built in 1901 as the Concordia Club, a meeting place for the German community. It opened on 20th December 1911 as a live theatre, known as Australian Hall. It became the Phillip Theatre in 1961, when the Phillip Street Theatre moved into the building. It was later re-named Richbrooke Theatre. In 1974, it was converted into a cinema, known as the Rivoli Theatre, opening with Peter Sellers in â€œThe Optimists of Nine Elmsâ€. Later name changes include Mandarin Cinema, screening Chinese films, and it was last operated as the Mandolin Cinema, screening independent and repertory films. It was closed in the early-2000â€™s.
