		Several of his water-colours were shown at the Melbourne exhibition of 1866-7, and in 1869 he was commissioned by the trustees of the Melbourne public library to do 40 water-colour drawings illustrating the diggings in the fifties.
		A large collection of his drawings is at the Melbourne public library, several are at the national gallery at Adelaide, and he is also well represented at the Mitchell library and the Commonwealth national library at Canberra.
		But Melbourne in the then state of communications was very far away from Sydney, and it was impossible to find local representatives able and willing to live part of the year at Sydney.

		Thus, in the parlance of theatre organists, it was a 3C/8 meaning it had three manuals (the top one being a coupler) with eight pipe ranks.
		The Dendy already had a theatre pipe organ, a WurliTzer (Ex Capitol Theatre, Melbourne), owned by the Victorian Division of TOSA and this was proving to be very popular.

	The Cinema as Secular Temple by Graham Pont in the Nexus Network Journal vol. 5 no. 2 (Autumn 2003)
		The Capitol is manifestly a secular temple; and, like many temples, its religious and philosophical origins are esoteric: its creators revealed little of their design rationale, let alone the true sources of their inspiration.
		If, as we hypothesise, the Capitol Theatre was conceived in the Pythagorean spirit [17] as a scene, not just of diversion, but of public edification and moral improvement, then the choice of The Ten Commandments for the opening spectacle was far from accidental.[18] But there might have been other sources of inspiration.
		Since the square and double square are such prominent motifs of the Capitol, the question arises as to whether this irregularity in the plan of the auditorium and stage area was arbitrary.

		The Melbourne Cup is one of the world's most challenging horse races, and one of the richest (total prize money in 2002 of $AU4.075 million), and the picking of winners an imprecise art at best.
		The distance and the handicap ensure that the Melbourne Cup is a horse race in which the mug punter has as good a chance of picking the winner as those who follow the form.Phar Lap, in his last Melbourne Cup campaign in 1931, carried a 10 stone (68kg) handicap.
		The 2002 Melbourne Cup will be remembered not only for the winning horse, Media Puzzle, but for Damian Oliver - the jockey who won the Cup for his brother, Jason Oliver, who died just one week before the Cup in a race trial accident.

		The cost of supplying the live music was not lost on the Theatre owners of the day who searched for something which could supply all the music they needed, but at a far lesser cost, and with something which was quite different as well.
		Organs were transplanted into theatres, but as they were in essence church organs, were ill suited to the type of music required of the day.
		The one thing which really sets the Theatre Organ apart from the church organ, apart from all the new voices and sounds, is the use of tremulants which had been dramatically changed and refined, and were used in entirely new ways.

		This light was designed by the Griffins as part of the construction of the interior of the Capitol Theatre in Melbourne during the early 1920’s.
		The theatre’s decore had an adventurous, modernist style, and the sophistication and complexity of the art deco influence indicates the Griffins’ awareness of the latest European design developments, well before the style’s popularity in Australia in the 1930’s.
		The theatre provided a spectacular environment for the enhancement of the movie-going experience; the auditorium’s ceiling was encrusted with thousands of coloured lights, which pulsated to the booming chords of the wurlitzer organ on stage.
