<h1>The first continuing screenings in North Perth were at the Rosemount Picture Gardens. (Elevated view)</h1>
<p>*Real estate photo</p>
<p>The Rosemount Gardens opened on a site in Angove St, next to the Rosemount Hotel on the southern side of the intersection of Angove and Fitzgerald Streets, in 1920. This venue had a brick street frontage, containing the bio-box. Inside, the whole flat seating area was grassed, with hard seats along the left side and the front, and deckchairs inside a fenced area in the middle and to the right. Babies in prams would be parked along the aisles, next to their parents.</p>
<p>There was no concession building: patrons went out to local shops if they wished to purchase refreshments. Male ushers showed patrons to their places, though seats were not numbered.In 1924, a theatre was built to operate in conjunction with the gardens, but not next door to it: the theatre was at 464 Fitzgerald St, on the opposite side of the road, facing the Angove St intersection. It had a lesser hall, hired out for meetings even while the films were going on in the theatre.</p>

<h1>The first continuing screenings in North Perth were at the Rosemount Picture Gardens.</h1>
<p>*Real estate photo</p>
<p>The Rosemount Gardens opened on a site in Angove St, next to the Rosemount Hotel on the southern side of the intersection of Angove and Fitzgerald Streets, in 1920. This venue had a brick street frontage, containing the bio-box. Inside, the whole flat seating area was grassed, with hard seats along the left side and the front, and deckchairs inside a fenced area in the middle and to the right. Babies in prams would be parked along the aisles, next to their parents.</p>
<p>There was no concession building: patrons went out to local shops if they wished to purchase refreshments. Male ushers showed patrons to their places, though seats were not numbered.In 1924, a theatre was built to operate in conjunction with the gardens, but not next door to it: the theatre was at 464 Fitzgerald St, on the opposite side of the road, facing the Angove St intersection. It had a lesser hall, hired out for meetings even while the films were going on in the theatre.</p>

![<p>Premier Theatre and Summer Gardens - 1940</p>
<p>Source - Sunday Times (Perth, WA)- Sun 30 Jun 1940</p>
<h1>Caption: “Raycophone” the only Australian 100 per cent reproducing sound invention.</h1>
<p>The first suburban theatres to be wired for sound were the New Oxford Theatre at Leederville, and the Premier Theatre at East Perth. The beginning of the talkies in WA. This advert was a reminder that the Premier was the first theatre in the Perth suburbs to install sound, along with it’s neighbor The New Oxford…</p>
<h1>Raycophone Sound</h1>
<p>Raycophone was perfected by Mr. Ray Allsop, a young Sydney engineer, who came into prominence originally as research engineer for 2BL broadcasting station in Sydney. By June 1937 Raycophone sound-projection systems was installed in 345 theatres.</p>
