The attached image was in an old photograph album we recently received. It has nothing to do with Manly, but it seems a shame not to share it with a wider audience. It shows the crowds drawn to the fire at the Palais Picture Theatre, which was adjacent to Luna Park, St Kilda, Victoria. the fire happened on 10th February 1926, and completely destroyed the picture theatre. Luna Park itself narrowly escaped the flames, according to the reports in the Melbourne Argus.
