    INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS: W WHIMSICAL WALKER [1] UK (1851-1934) British clown, acrobat, animal trainer. [Born: Thomas Henry Walker] [1904] The son of a circus advance rep, Thomas Walker was apprenticed to Pablo Fanque's circus at age eight and continued in the business for around 70 years. During his career he worked with many leading circuses, including Barnum and Bailey, and became a huge star in English pantomime as a harlequin specialist. He also travelled the world three times and toured America on at least 16 occasions. Although he toured Australia only once, arriving here in September 1904 under contract to Harry Rickards, Walker's life and aspects of his career were well-known throughout the region courtesy of regular newspaper reports. Further Reference: Walker, Whimsical. From Sawdust to Windsor Castle (1922) - available online at the Internet Archive's Open Library project [sighted 18/12/2013]. OOO Courtesy of www.fulltable.com WORLD'S ENTERTAINERS [1] aka Lee and Rial's World's Entertainers [1901-1902] In 1901 J.C. Williamson, thinking to expand his already considerable theatrical empire, contracted American actor/impersonator Henry Lee and producer/entrepreneur James G. Rial to bring a company of US vaudeville acts to Australia. The tour, produced under the auspices of Williamson, Lee and Rial, was initially managed by James H. Love (1852-1902), with Lee taking on the duties of stage director. The plan was to take the company to most of the capital cities, with the major seasons naturally being produced in Sydney and Melbourne. A number of select regional centres were also chosen for short visits, while New Zealand was also seen as a likely destination at some stage.

  • Memorializing Other Prominent Citizens, Especially Monarchs. in the Context of the “Edinburgh” Gardens, Named in Honour of the Royal Heir, It Is Even More Significant
    memorializing other prominent citizens, especially monarchs. In the context of the “Edinburgh” Gardens, named in honour of the royal heir, it is even more significant. The plinth should be retained and conserved and the statue reinstated, based on the photographic evidence available. While the original statue reportedly was of timber, it would be preferable to reconstruct any new statuary in more durable masonry. 2. Maintain an appropriate setting for the statue. It would be desirable to recreate an appropriate setting for the statue. Early photographs and plans of the area indicate that two of the four original diagonal paths surrounding the feature have been removed and it is desirable that they be reconstructed to their original layout. While the plinth presently sits in a shrub bed, which was reconstructed from photographic evidence in 1972, the planting is poor in quality and condition as a consequence of vandalism. Refer to Section 6.5.33 for policy relating to the shrub bed surrounding the statue. 6.5.13 Ladies Bowling Club and Green 1. Remove the Ladies Bowling Club clubhouse. As an intrusive element and in poor condition, the Ladies Bowling Club clubhouse detracts from the Gardens and is of no significance. It is located in a visually conspicuous area and should be removed. Should the bowling green area be redeveloped for a new sporting use, such as croquet or bocce, then a small, well-designed pavilion could be introduced onto the site. There is no heritage reason why these uses could not be located in this area. 2. Maintain and upgrade or remove the ladies bowling green Should the area be redeveloped then it should be substantially upgraded and maintained.

A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree MA (HONS) from UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG by LYNNE DENT BA (HONS) FACULTY OF CREATIVE ARTS 1998 Abstract Sydney's Capitol theatre stands on the oldest site on which there has been theatrical activity. It is significant for its historic architecture, distinctive interior and place in popular entertainment. Using a theatre-based analogy, this study sought to explore the history of the site, building and theatres focussing on the involvement of the City Council, Chief Secretary's Department and its Lessees, from the height of its popularity to its loss of public favour and through changing circumstances. Research was undertaken in the archives of Sydney City Council, Department of Local Government and Cooperatives and National Trust of Australia, as well as newspaper sources held by many libraries. Secondary sources included texts of authorities in the areas of architecture, theatre, cinema, related government legislation and publications of the Australian Theatre Historical Society (now the Australian Cinema and Theatre Society).
