Some corrections please for this entry.The Union was in actual fact the North Sydney Coliseum Ltd which opened in August 1910 as a roller skating rink,the theatre next door opened in January 1911 as The Coliseum Theatre becoming Clays Coliseum in 1918. The Coliseum Roller Rink became the Sydnian Theatre of Pictures in October 1913 and in 1915 resumed the name Coliseum Theatre of Pictures. Rebuilt, it reopend in September 1921 as the Union DeLuxe. After the 1929 wall Street crash the theatre became the Hoyts deLuxe and in 1942 after Hoyts terminated its lease it became the DeLuxe until the fire of 1944.It was never called the Union.
