Henry Eli White’s St James auditorium cross-section plan from 1926 shows the intended proscenium designs of both theaters. For reasons unclear (almost certainly financial, but possibly safety design compliance problems too) the Fuller brothers soon lost interest in proceeding with the second theater and more offices were included in the finished structure.

Other architectural work by White in that period includes the still standing Capitol and State in Sydney, Civic Newcastle and Palais St Kilda in Melbourne.
