Hopkins St, Footscray, with the Trocadero Theatre on the left, 1924 (via)

The Trocadero theatre is sadly no more, but it lives on through both the Trocadero Arts space that has taken its place on that corner of Hopkins and Leeds (see here for a good modern day comparison of the corner - that billboard is a creation of the Trocadero, changing every so often for a new artist to put up their piece of expression) and in the Trocadero cinema at the Sun Theatre,Yarraville, where many local, long gone theatres survive in the names of their 6 cinemas.
