The Palace nightclub refered to and pictured in the article was located in Melbourne suburb of St. Kilda, adjacent to the historic Palais Theatre. It was destroyed by fire a couple of months ago (the Palais was not affected and is being restored) and the operators of the former Palace Nightclub have now re-located to the former Metro Theatre in Bourke Street, re-naming it Palace Theatre, a name it had many years ago.
The Scala can be seen in this vintage 1967 postcard, night time view next to the adjacent Eldorado Cinema:
