Many more pictures of the theatre can be found in a photo essay by Prof. Ross Thorne at http://www.rossthorne.com/downloads/Palace_theatre.pdf

Prior to “The Palace’s” demolition in 1970, it reverted to live theatre. This document gives an idea on other features of the theatre, https://dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/palace_theatre.

The last movie to be shown at “The Palace” was “Skippy and the Intruders” between the 12th December 1969 and 4th January, 1970, source: https://www.ozmovies.com.au/movie/intruders.

A reasonable quality digitally restored movie of “Skippy and the Intruders” is found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxohPSyJXGc

The Sydney Hilton occupies the space of the former “The Palace”.

Thank you,
Anthony of Sydney

A picture of the Palace Theatre in Sydney, taken sometime between 1927 and 1931, can be seen here.
