    Notes:

    The Proscenium Arch Mural
    Celebrating 100 Years
    by Christian Cardell Corbet, PPCPA, FRSA

    For over well over half a century now there has been incessant speculation as to who created the marvelous mural that adorns the Grand Theatre's proscenium arch.


    Early speculations suggested London, Ontario artist Eva Marie Bradshaw. However, Bradshaw was a post-impressionist painter and never worked on allegorical themes let alone murals. It was recorded by Canadian artist Frederick Sproston Challener, RCA that he created a mural in the year 1905 and did so for The Grand Opera House in London, Ontario, now the Grand Theatre.....

    Frederick Sproston Challener died in 1959 in his 90th year having left behind a most extraordinary career and many notable masterpieces of art work that is unsurpassed today. Challener is represented with wall paintings in the following collections: National Gallery of Canada; Art Gallery of Ontario; University of Lethbridge Art Coll.; Agnes Jamieson Gallery Coll. Challener is represented with murals at the Royal Alexandra Theatre; Royal Alexandra Hotel, Wpg; MacDonald Hotel, Edmonton, AB; Laidlaw Building, Toronto; and 14 important panels at Parkwood Mansion, former residence of Col. R S Mac Laughlin, Oshawa, ON.
