The design of the whole theatre was entirely carried out in Loew’s (M.G.M.) architectural office in Los Angeles. It was the only theatre in Australia to have this distinction, and even had special provisions for combatting snow which has never fallen in Adelaide since British settlement in 1836. The curtain was a contour drop style made of golden velvet.
