A hand-tinted postcard shows the Baroque Revival facade of the city theater, its pediment decorated with a coat of arms medallion. A crowd of men and women in formal dress gathers at the entrance and along the forecourt, with cafe tables set out to the right. A sender has written a message in cursive directly across the sky above the building.
About this place
The Dunđerski Theatre, built between 1892 and 1895 to plans by Vladimir Nikolić and squeezed into the courtyard of the Hotel Elisabeth, later the Queen Mary and today the Vojvodina. It held about 600 people and burned down on 23 January 1928. It is not the Serbian National Theatre, which stands today on the ground where Jewish Street ran.
