“the remodelling of the old institute building, in front of which two shops are to be erected. Two-dome ceilings are to be put in, and a commodious lounge and dress circle. The floor will be sloped towards the front, where there is to be a massive proscenium. . . On the ground floor the library, subscribers' and public reading rooms will be established. . . The top floor will contain a billiards-room, secretary's office, kitchen, and conveniences, the back portion being a soldiers' hall.” [Advertiser 15 Jul 1929]
“Ozone Theatres Limited . . . at the reconstructed Semaphore Hall last night were treated to four surprises. These were the wonderful transformation that has been effected in the art decoration of the interior of the hall, delightful effect of indirect lighting, general excellence of the programme, and clarity of the voice production by the talkie equipment. Other pleasing features in the new theatre are the comfortable tip seats, with ample room between the rows. . . The art decoration is in Adam and Jacobean style, with a modernistic touch. The proscenium is, indeed, a work of art, and is the original design of Mr Chris A. Smith (architect), as are window and ceiling ornamentations. . . The theatre serves a large and growing district.” [News 10 Dec 1929]

Protector when the structural alterations to the gunboat were effected. The weapon is now being erected on the reserve at Semaphore, close to the beach.” [Register 24 Apr 1913]
“A request has been received by the Port Adelaide Council from the Ex-Naval Men's Association that, the gun from the old warship Protector should be given a more prominent position at Semaphore. It now occupies a corner of Todd Reserve, near the entrance to the jetty, but is partly hidden from view.” [News 9 Oct 1936]
“the gun from the old Protector, the only South Australian warship, will be shifted to a more advantageous position shortly.
