  • <p>Pretty sure this was the spot where the theater was located</p>
  • <p>Possible old curbside sign used by theater? I can’t recall if the theater advertised with a curbside sign, it was set far back along with the rest of the mall due to the size of the parking lot.</p>
  • <p>This is the general area of the shopping center where the theater was located - I believe more on the left side of this image. I seem to recall the larger store on the right was a TSS, but comments on the theater’s page seem to contradict that.</p>
  • <p>Five Towns Shopping Center… Seems to be more gulls here than actual shoppers on this particular day.</p>

  • <p>“THE PORT HEDLAND PICTURE GARDENS” WA – Photo courtesy of “The Glass Family” – The Port Hedland Picture Gardens were true open air theatre gardens, featuring traditional deckchairs on bare earth, and the walls covered in greenery. One night they screened a 3D movie & handed out 3D glasses, and a character on the screen poked the audience with a spear. This caused the old fellas & kids to jump out of their seats. <script type="text/javascript">

  • <p>1951 - TIME FRAME - Port Hedland Picture Gardens play Charles Chauvel’s “Sons of Mathew” - Pictures' shown during the week-in the Port Hedland Picture/Gardens were as follows: “Mother Wore Tights” starring Betty Grable, “Crimson Key,” “Sons of Mathew” and “Honeymoon Ahead”.“ To add, to the comfort of patrons Fred Hull and Charlie Bayman, owners of the picture gardens, are. busily engaged in erecting a frame work overhead which will be covered by canvas. This improvement will be very much appreciated by all picture goers as several heavy dews have been experienced also light rain on the nights that pictures have been shown. - Northern Times (Carnarvon, WA) - Thu 5 Jul 1951</p>
