In May 1930 Union Theatres dominated the Sydney city film scene. As well as the still standing today State and Capitol, there was the Lyceum, Empress (later rebuilt as the Victory/Rapallo), Lyric (later Forum), Crystal Palace (later rebuilt as the Hoyts Century) Hippodrome (later Civic/Palladium/Barclay) and not listed here was the Prince Edward in which UT had a financial interest. At the St James a record run was achieved by the second 100% all talking all (two strip) Technicolor feature length film “Gold Diggers of Broadway” (1929).
