Further Information Mr Coppin most respectfully informs the ladies and gentlemen of Adelaide and its environs that he has built (at a very considerable expense) a neat and elegant Theatre upon the premises of Mr Solomon, and intends opening it for short season. The plan by Mr Price, architect, is superior to any theatre in the colonies, and has been very substantially executed by Messrs Sheppard and Lines.
