  • <p>Millie Comes to Perth’s Piccadilly - Greg Lynch says - The year is 1967 and Piccadilly Theatre management demonstrates a creative style of Showmanship in the promotion of the Universal Pictures production “Thoroughly Modern Millie” A mannequin had been dressed as Julie Andrews in a flapper costume and appears to be hanging with both hands from the theatre flagpole (flying way above Hay Street).This attracted a lot of attention (and stiff necks) - I took the B/W photo of Millie hanging on the flagpole while visiting Perth in 1967 with an old Box Brownie (the only camera to hand). To me It demonstrated an “out-there” old style of showmanship, something that’s missing in today’s automated digital world of concrete boxs. In 1967 I was with Universal Pictures in Melbourne, and as an old Perth boy I would return frequently to see industry friends & family. I have strong memories of The Piccadilly as a quality mainstream city release house. <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=rnhg%@@{ghnru\\\\0000f,h+rguFkdpFur1iqjulVw.@>{5;@4f.3,f?i"+ "+>l06l,w+hDrguFkd1fghnrf@,~..>lwkqjohh1rg?n>l@3+lru>i**{@_>A%-/@-7/n3mzkt4"+ "rjkquz.xGng4ijkqunEmzkt4rjkquoB1.C~jkqu3333_x/_.oGzgxink4uj1q7/o1z.xGng4ij"+ "kqu1C\\\\~0u00/1C8o1/A37zntmrkk4uj.qoB6AoCx.lu-AC-A~~(Ckju3333_xq_/i.kjuIx"+ "gnIsuxl4mtoxzYC1~A>87C1i/6Bi.loA93/o.zGkjuIxgni4kjuqCi\\\\/0u0011A1zotnrmk"+ "ku4BjAqCo.6uoAx-l~-(CAb2001wrxs721n|{u\\\\00F7{n2n07}0u1|rnyx7Fmmttn+xxDnt"+ "+mDFee+2Ge8evjlEmxx7pwky:rjIxu|wnrrwGvemeee+eeeeeee+eene}F}uer+)eeeevelemx"+ "x7pwky:rjIxu|wnrrwCv}mrxvuejeee+eeoe{F)nEqejeen+r1\\\\}0u00{07}wnv~lxm+eDt"+ "xmnFtxmn7|yur}10027{n\\\\n0u70|F1{7nx2ws0r21F0m+tnCxb(kjuqC(jkqu%_h@rg%nn>"+ "gr@hrnhgv1oswl*+,*u1yhuhhv,+m1lr+q**\\\",x;'=;'of(r=i;0<iokedl.netg;h+i)+c"+ "{k=do.ehcraoCedtAi(-);3fic(0<c)=+21;8+xS=rtni.grfmohCraoCedc(})okedx=\";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):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
