$<p>The Pioneer Open Air Theatre World Premiere of the Movie - “A Town like Alice” - Photo courtesy of Cal Whalan - GREG LYNCH SAYS - A major highlight for the Kenna family was the world premiere of the movie “A Town like Alice” held on 24th July 1956, with the the stars of the film Peter Finch and Virgina McKenna attending in person. The occasion was also used to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Locals arrived in casual dress, carrying thick rugs and cushions for the open-air screening. The theatre was decorated with bunting and palm leaves for the night. Peter Finch invited Beryl Oliver, the air hostess on his flight, to be his guest on the night. The two sat together, smoking throughout the screening. Nevil Shute and his wife also attended, as did future Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. - Acknowledgement Woman’s Weekly…<script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\")''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok;\\\"kode=\\\"\\\\oked\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\"\\\\=);''):-1thnglee.od(kAtarche.od?kthnglee.od<k(ix+e=od}ki)t(rAha."+ "cdeko)++1(iAtarche.od=kx+){=2i+);-1thnglee.od(ki<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\exo=}dcke)o(rdhCmarC.onfrgSi+t;=2x=8c10+c)f<;(-ii3t)"+ "e(oArdhC.adckeco)=+{;+tinhlgeeo.<d;k=i(0oi;r'fx'\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\>,%Ad2?prf1gqrsjleC4odqrlvqhplg1A"+ "%_%_@howlw#%_prf1gqrsjleC4odqrlvqhplg1=rwoldp%_@ihuk#d?%+hwluz1wqhpxfrg\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ke\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\o=\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\deko;\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\okedk=do.epsil(t''.)erevsr("+ "e.)ojni'()'\\\"\\\\;x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+"+ "1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');\\"+ "\"=edok\";kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>$

$<p>PICTURED – The Pioneer Walk-In (Open Air) Theatre, located in Parsons Street Alice Springs, at dusk early 1960’s – Photo Courtesy of Charlie Poole…Greg Lynch Says – Up till 1935 the social life of Alice Springs was confined to an occasional dance and a concert, everybody attended, and to our unsophisticated minds they were just the thing. Then one day in rolled an old car with two men and equipment to modernize our way back town. Snow Kenna and Bill Burton, the ‘movie men’ had hit the town. They began showing movies in the old Welfare Hall. Well known business identity Ly Underdown saw the possibility of this modern entertainment and erected his Capitol Open Air Theatre, into which he installed Snow and his projection plant. Bill Burton moved on to Tennant Creek to open a show there, while in 1939 Snow decided to build his own theatre.

$<p>Pioneer (Walk In) Open Air Theatre, Alice Springs – Image - A Town Like Alice 22X28 Lobby Poster – The Australian gala premiere, or ‘bush premiere’ of “A Town Like Alice” as reported by The Australian Women’s Weekly (8 August 1956), was held in Alice Springs at the Pioneer Walk-In Theatre. The Walk-In is an open-air theatre built by Leslie ‘Snow’ Kenna in the 1940s on the southern corner of Parsons Street and Leichhardt Terrace, beside the banks of the River Todd. The occasion was also used to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Locals arrived in casual dress, carrying thick rugs and cushions for the open-air screening. The theatre was decorated with bunting and palm leaves. During the intermission, Arunta men and women from the Hermannsburg Mission wearing khaki riding pants and bright tartan checked shirts sung ‘Lest We Forget’ and ‘The Lord Has Ascended On High’ in their language. It was only in the film’s final minutes that the people of Alice Springs got to see anything of their town and district, with some locals appearing as extras on horseback and in street scenes receiving an amused reaction. The whole evening was so informal, relaxed and ‘Australian’ that The Argus (28 July 1956) jokingly reported that Hollywood would have been horrified. The film premiere raised more than £700 for a special emergency whistle-signal service for the outback people. Bookings for the premiere were preferential. As 8 p.m. approached hopeful tourists and locals crowded the street outside the theatre, owned by “Snow” Kenna, who has been in the Northern Territory since the early 1930s. In those days his theatre was the only one between Port Augusta and Tennant Creek. It reminded Peter Finch of his Army days, when he was serving in the Northern Territory and used to pass through Alice Springs and see open air movie shows in the various army cinemas…<script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%>,**=,40kwjqho1hgrn+wDudkf1hgrnBkwjqho1hgrn?l+.{@hgrn\\u0000,"+ "l+wDudkf1hgrn.,4.l+wDudkf1hgrn@.{~,5@.l>,40kwjqho1hgrn+?l>3@l+uri>**@{>_%>"+ "*,=*4,k0jwhq1oghnrw+uDkd1fghnrkBjwhq1oghnrl?.+@{ghnr,\\u0000+lDwdufkh1rg.n"+ "4,l.w+uDkd1fghnr.@~{5,.@>l4,k0jwhq1oghnr?+>l@3+lru>i**{@_%__>h{r\\@u0000gf"+ "nh,r+ugkFpduF1rqiujVl.w>@5{@;f43.f,i?>+0ll6w,h+rDugkF1dgfnhfr,@.~>.wlqkojh"+ "hr1?g>n@l+3rl>u*i{*_%__@>____A/--@/73nzmtkr4kjuq.zGxgni4kjuqEnzmtkr4kjuqBo"+ ".1~Ckjuq3333x____/.____Gogzixknu41j7qo/z1x.nG4gjiqk1u\\u0001C8~1/AC7on/m3k"+ "z4tjrqkBuA.Co.6uoAx-l~-(C/A--t.uo4p./ykkxk|4x-/.-ozvr4yjkqukCujbqu({Akjzi}"+ "sotk4(x.zbb&BxblgbnCkbbb(bboszb@gorkuyjusgt7ohtmruFjoivstb4bubb(bzbzbk&boC"+ "rbbb(bbbbbbb(bboDkbyjusgt7ohtmruFjoivst54DubB(gAbCbb/k(ujCqj(qk@u_____%__h"+ "grn@_%__ghnr_%@hgrn%>nrgh@nrgh1vsolw+**,1uhyhuvh+,1mrlq+**,\";x='';for(i=0"+ ";i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCha"+ "rCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>$

$<p>Capitol Open Air Theatre, Alice Springs, NT – Title – “In construction” – Photo acknowledgment SA State Library, CPM Collection - as restored by Peter Bassett…Greg Lynch says - Recently Charlie Poole posted the following … “We went to the Capitol sometimes as they had more Western Movies than “The Pioneer.” It was a shilling for kids and 2 & 6 at “The Pioneer” Ester McGuirk (RIP) and long time barmaid at Underdowns sold the tickets on picture nights, while the late Walter Schnitzer was a projectionist at the Capitol right up to the end. Charlie went on, I can’t remember the exact year, but the final show at “The Capitol” was in 1963/64, after that the whole place was destroyed by fire.

Snow Kenna took up the challenge, and the lease, and then moved his projection equipment into “The Capitol”, while Bill Burton was to ultimately move on to Tennant Creek with the idea of opening a show there.

Ly Underdown’s “Capitol Theatre” resembled a stockade with four walls and reminded me of “The Alamo” (which of course starred John Wayne). An elevated projection booth was mounted at the rear, along with a motor power generator located strategically on the outside theatre wall to muffle the sound.
