Roy Cooke: General Manager A rainy evening in Braamfontein as audiences brave the street and congested parking
The cars date from the 1960's, so this could be just after the theatre opened. Neither of the shows featured on the poster appear in the Reps list of productions, so they theatre may have been rented out to JODS for The Merry Widow When it was still called the Reps Theatre.  Photo dated 1958
