The article should probably note that although the Roseway has now been demolished, the neon sign was salvaged and is planned to be displayed at the National Neon Sign Museum at The Dalles, Oregon.

The five stained glass window displays also survived, although one was stolen soon after the fire. One, displaying the theater’s logo, will also go to the Neon Sign Museum, while the others have been donated to the nearby Hollywood Theatre for display.

The timing in this article is incorrect. The premiere of The Squatter’s Daughter was 29 September 1933, which was when it was renamed the Civic Theatre. It had already abandoned its all-Australian policy by 1935.

Actually the Rapallo was built on the site of Colonial No 1. Colonial No 2 was demolished for the construction of the Plaza Theatre, across the road.
