              <p>The New Midland Town Hall, holding approx 600, was opened on January 23, 1907. Beginning with regular Mon night screenings on 15 February 1909, conducted by King’s Pictures. These were managed by Mr Sudholz, then by a parade of managers who took over after his departure. At some point, these became separated from the parent company and independent of it, but the name ‘King’s Pictures’ continued to be used, screening from September 1910 in the Empire Hall. Meanwhile, West’s Touring Company had begun weekly screenings in the Midland Town Hall also, commencing during May 1909. These, carried on for several years screening Sat nights. So now Midland residents a choice of films, at least two nights per week.</p>

              <p>Swan Pictures took over from King’s, and from what we can gather, ( between 1914-1918 ) Empire Pictures took over both circuits. From 1916 to 1926 People’s Pictures screened here regularly, before building the Renown. There is no information as to who operated the venue after that. May Pilmoor recalls going to the movies in the Town Hall during 1936. Star Entertainment opened up in the Town Hall in 1943, and this was taken over soon after by V. C. Lucas who was the exhibitor till 1959.</p>

              <p>Through the 40’s until the 50’s, the seating on the level ground floor was on padded wooden benches, which could be moved to the side walls when it was used for dances or functions. Upstairs, the seats were more comfortable with better sight lines. Pictures were shown on Fri & Sat nights. Children were admitted at a lower admission rate through the side doors, limited to the roped-off front six rows of the stalls. Babies were left in prams & pushers in the foyer, usually in the care of management & usherettes – Information sourced from Cinema Web, courtesy of Ina Bertrand - Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript">

  • <p>THE GRAND OPENING OF THE THEATRE RENOWN -
              As reported in The Swan Express (Midland Junction, WA) - Fri 15 Apr 1927</p>
            
              <p>Tuesday evening the new picture theatre in Midland Junction was the center of interest, and the crowd waiting admittance was at once apparent to anyone entering the town. Happily for the enterprising proprietors the theatre was ready for the night of opening, the only unfinished portion being part of the granolithic footpath. Next week we hope to publish architectural details. A programme was given worthy of the occasion, and the
              large audience expressed their appreciation by applause, especially during the turn of the Specialty Four. The opening ceremony was performed by the Hon. Dr. Athelstan Saw, M.L.C., who was introduced by the Mayor of Midland Junction (Mr W R. Crosbie). The Mayor remarked that the Municipality of Midland Junction should be congratulated on having such a fine theatre. He commended Messrs. A. Herbert and G. G Trefoy on
              their enterprise, and on their behalf thanked the splendid audience for their patronage.</p>
            
              <p>Dr. Saw also extended congratulations for the magnificent theatre, which would give much instruction and pleasure to (the inhabitants off the town. It was a great thing to possess a theatre of this kind in the town, because it would be of considerable convenience and advantage, for it would obviate the necessity of going to large cent res for amusement. It was only about twenty years since the first picture theatre had been opened in Perth. At first those who considered themselves wiseacres thought picture theatres would not last for any length of time, but they had Increased their hold on the people, and contributed to their amusement and education. He had very much pleasure In declaring the theatre open, and hoped it would contribute to the prosperity. and enjoyment of the people of Midland Junetlon. - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript">

  • <p>Talkies come to “The Renown Theatre” – The Swan Express (Midland Junction, WA) Fri 14 Mar 1930 Page 4, reports …</p>
            
              <p>“The Renown Theatre “ TALKIE” INSTALLATION. OPENED BY HON. W. D. JOHNSON, MX.A.</p>
            
              <p>There are few theatres in this State that can compare In comfort, lighting and cleanliness with the Renown at Midland Junction. Last Wednesday evening was a red letter day for its many patrons who filled the building, which, owing to its ventilating system, was beautifully cool. To anticipate the wishes of its many patrons the management installed the Talkie machine, and purchased the most up – to date instrument in the market, “The Raycophone”. This machine is Australian, and is made by Australians. A large number of people who count in the picture world were present at the installation, and were loud in their praise, not only of the machine, but of the general lighting effects, the acoustic properties of the theatre, and the excellence of the screen.</p>
            
              <p>The Hon. W. D. Johnson, M.L.A., was present, and took the opportunity to congratulate the proprietors on the success which attended the opening night. He stressed the fact that the proprietors had, for many years, been active in the picture world, and were to be heartily congratulated on their enterprise in catering for the enjoyment of the people of Midland and district. In stating that the reproduction of the sounds was equal to any and better than most metropolitan theatres, he received the agreement of the large audience.</p>
            
              <p>The lighting could not be improved upon. In their enterprise the proprietors have booked excellent pictures for the future delectation of their many patrons. These include Talkies from Messrs. Warner Bros., First National, RKO - Radio Corp, Universal, Cinema' Arts, British Dominions Production Corp., Columbia, and P.D.C. Co. in addition The management have the exclusive right of showing the only Talkie serials, Collegian series, Ken Maynard and Hoot Gibson in Talkie, the Cohen-Reilly pictures, and many other interesting items. One picture that appeals to all sections of the public, is “Rio Rita,” and that will be shown at this theatre immediately it leaves Perth. The management deserves well of the public for its enterprise. – NOTE – Photo depicts = The original stage, curtains & proscenium of  “The Renown  Theatre”.

  • <p>Gilbert Trefry Hands Over The Keys Of The “Renown Theatre Midland Junction” This article appeared in the West Australian Newspaper, Sat July 3, 1954 – It was also circulated as an AX4 leaflet during the same period. (refer to the image)</p>
            
              <p>When Mr. Gilbert Trefry sees the last patron depart from “The Theatre Renown” on Saturday night, and as he closes the gates he will be severing a connection with the picture industry which began in Day Dawn 44 years ago. On Monday morning he will hand the keys to Bob Yelland of Consolidated Theatres Ltd, to whom he has leased the Renown. Bob Yelland was a Picture Show Man who lived well into his 90’s, after spending a life-time in the Cinema Industry. His interest in “The Renown” stemmed from the fact that he was running The Regent Theatre Guildford in the next suburb. It made a lot of sense to acquire “The Renown” for the purpose of switching film and sharing advertising. One of these releases was the very early CinemaScope production of “BENEATH THE 12 MILE REEF”. This was run at “The Renown” together with The Regent Guildford on the same nights. This writer was the assistant projectionist at “The Regent” while Bob Yelland’s son Kevin was the senior projectionist. I recall that we only had one set of CinemaScope lenses, and one print to service the two cinemas. We came very close to disaster on a number of occasions. as we rushed backwards and forwards with the spools.</p>
            
              <p>Theatre name. “The Theatre Renown” – later known as “The Renown Theatre” then back to “The Theatre Renown” caused a lot of confusion as it switched backwards & forwards over the years. When you go back and look at the newspaper advertising there are constant instances of this. Never-the-less the theatre holds a special place for those who lived through the magic era of Picture Palaces – Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript">

  • <p>The photo shows the (Old) Great Northern Highway, Midland Junction. The Theatre Renown can be seen on the right hand side of the street.</p>
            
              <p>TIMELINE*</p>
            
              <p>The Theatre Renown and Open Air Pictures</p>
            
              <p>During 1927 Alf Herbert and Gilbert Trefry built the The Theatre Renown and Gardens. The floor was raked floor in both the stalls and circle, with fixed seating throughout. The inside of the theatre was painted pale green with a pink trim. It had large drop down windows.  Annie Fahey (later Plews) would play the piano to accompany the picture being shown. Jessie Pearson worked in the ticket box which was set in the middle of the foyer.  Miss Nyland ran the ´lolly shop', located within the foyer of the theatre. Talkies  were introduced to the Renown on March I5, 1930.</p>
            
              <p>The Gardens</p>
            
              <p>The gardens were built behind the theatre, however were forced to close during World War 2, when blackout restrictions made open air screening impossible. The disused site became run-down and over grown.  Early 50’s it was cleaned up, repainted and re-opened. The theatre was equipped with traditional canvas deckchairs for seating. There were aisles both along the outside of the seats and down the centre. It was a  great venue to enjoy on hot summer nights.</p>
            
              <p>Consolidated Theatres</p>
            
              <p>Consolidated Theatres (Bob Yelland) leased the venue from 1 July 1954, and redecorated the building with a new paint job/ This featured cream as the main colour detailed with red trim. The front steel grille had been replaced with folding wood and glass doors. Carpet had been laid on the stairs to the circle. At this time, a door-way was opened from the foyer into the sweet shop. With the new renovations and the new look It became necessary to make a booking for Saturday night shows. “Come Back Little Sheba” supported by “Fort Worth” was the opening program on Sat July 10, 1954 while “Bambi” and “Tarzan’s Savage Fury” played the matinee. Consolidated Theatres operated the venue till it closed on 31 January 1968. A variety of traders used the building until it was demolished in 1997 - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript">
