LostMemry, I am looking for further info and would like to get your input but you list no e-mail address or other contact info. Please e-mail me with any info you have.
The Vic originally opened on 26 October, 1912; I have a photo showing a group of people holding up a banner which includes the date.
There is some confusion because of a fire in 1924; the roof, the projection area and part of the interior were rebuilt, which took about a year. Films were shown at an alternate site until repairs could be made. Also, there is a chair from the original theatre still being stored in the theatre building. If the fire had been complete, I’m pretty sure chairs wouldn’t have survived.
lostmemory, I have been researching and writing a history of The Vic for months. It’s to be used as a fundraiser if I can come up with the cash to have it published. If you have info, I would appreciate it if you would forward it to me at It would be really embarrassing to spend my savings account to have a fundraiser published and be wrong!
yup same one
