Comments Short item about the Lyric Fitzroy, this one paragraph appears underneath an article on 'Trade with the Empire' and a paragraph about helping the YMCA provide lodging for girls. Gives interesting information on the theatre at that time - the screen was a 'Mack' screen and the program of films was changed each Monday, so a film would only run for a week at a time. Also descibes the orchestra there at the time as being "one of the best in Melbourne".
Synopsis Full text: The pictures at the Lyric Theatre, near the corner of Smith and Johnston streets, are thrown on the beautiful Mack screen in a perfect manner. There is an entire change of programme each Monday, and the orchestra is one of the best in Melbourne.
