![<p>The Menora Picture Gardens of 362 Walcott Street, Mt Lawley, WA were built by Abraham Machlin with a seating capacity of 1100, opening with council approval on January 18 1947. A packed house enjoyed the Gene Tierney feature film “Laura”, supported by “Four Jills in a Jeep”. The theatre was named after the “Menorah”, a candelabra used in the religious rituals of Judaism.</p>

![<p>Menora Picture Gardens 362 Walcott Street, Mt Lawley, WA - Protest 1947.</p>
<p>West Australian Thursday 6 March 1947, page 19.</p>
<p>Complaints of noise*</p>
<p>Comment - There were many loud voices in the surrounding community that didn’t want the theatre. The main complaint being noise from the theatre speakers. The residents of Walcott Street had complained that the screening of films was interfering with their sleep, It was suggested that the area be re-zoned from business to residential and the theatre’s permit to show pictures be withdrawn. The proprietors (registered as Abraham Machlin & Son) assured the council that every effort would be made to reduce the sound level. Technical advice was sought and the speakers were tilted towards the ground to some positive effect, and it was thought that once the freshly planted poplar trees grew that it will create a barrier and cut out some of the noise.</p>

<p>There were also rumblings from competing cinema owners regarding the close proximity of the Menora to their theatres. This created a serious problem in obtaining early release movies. Never-the-less the picture gardens flourished as loving attention was paid to planting trees and enhancing the foliage. It wasn’t long before the theatre’s newspaper advertising carried the slogan, “W.A.’s most beautiful Picture Gardens</p>

![<p>The Menora Theatre closed in 1961 & in the 1980s became the Beefeater Restaurant.</p>
<p>The Menora theatre was centrally placed and ran profitably until Oct 1959 when television was introduced. Over the next two years the box office receipts fell gradually to nothing, and in 1961 the family was forced to close both the cinema and picture gardens. The projection equipment from the cinema made up of Centrex projectors and Westrex Sound was sold to Arthur Stiles of City theatres for £2,000, who immediately installed the plant in their prestigious Piccadilly Theatre in Hay Street, some years later it found its way into the Grand theatre in Murray Street. My greatful thanks to Roy Mudge for this information.</p>
<p>The Menora Cinema was modified into a squash court., and a building containing 9 housing units was constructed over the once beautiful picture gardens. The car park became a supermarket (thought to be the first operating supermarket in the area of Perth). Eventually in time becoming an antique shop. In the 1980s the theatre became the Beefeater Restaurant, and in 2020 it is operating as a Thai restaurant & beauty saloon (Haus of Style).</p>

![<p>Menora Theatre 340 Walcott Street, Menora, WA - Footnote</p>
<p>Footnote - The “Menorah” is a multibranched candelabra used in Jewish religious ceremonies. The area now known as Menora was once part of Mount Lawley. It was included in the land originally granted to Charles Bourne in 1840, but the actual subdivision did not commence until the 1940s. The current name was chosen in 1954 and was influenced by the location of the Menora Theatre in Walcott Street. Quite simply the suburb was named after the Menora Picture Theatre, a tribute to the vision of Abraham Machlin and his family, “Pioneering Picture Show People”.</p>
