The Theatre

  When the idea of constructing the Theatre was suggested,
every effort was made to supply a building in keeping with the
progress of South Shields, and to compare favourably with the
leading cities and towns in the provinces. This result has been
achieved, and although during the past few years huge combines
have endeavoured to eclipse the architecture and splendour
by erecting super cinemas, the "Queen's" Theatre has been
adjudged by Building Experts and Proprietors of Theatres from
all parts of the British Isles to stand alongside the finest and
most up-to-date theatres in London and the Provinces.
