the lyric theatre, yarraville

This building intrigued me last night and I now know it was Stephen Street's Lyric Theatre until 1982 and is of course now apartments. Stephen Street produced most of The Smiths' hits. In more relevant news, I don't know whether the person who lost their teeth in March 1918 after a great foray into moviegoing did so at the Lyric Yarraville or one of the other Lyric theatres. Also what was the reward?

These pictures are completely out of sequence except the last one. Keeps it interesting

Possibly the images below of the football oval convey why for a moment I thought some screens had been erected in the middle of the ground. I mean it was my bad eyes as well. 

The Darwin Institute of Trade is a remarkable institution established 2025 and they rarely leave the lights on all night so it felt like a lucky day. 

thing

 

Slightly scary thing seen behind the flats over the road. I don't know what it is. This picture does it no justice. I think it is in the ground and it was reflective, but looked lit up. Makes no sense at all.

 Any ideas for what I should do with this picture welcomed.
