  • <p>Designed by architect R.J. Denneby, this is how the auditorium of Perth’s Grand Theatre looked in c.1916.</p>

  • <p>This Grand Opening ad from The Daily News of Huntingdon PA, May 17, 1950, establishes the opening date of the Midway Drive-In. The Midway ran a similar ad a couple of days earlier promoting the opener.</p> <p>I have no interest in the copyright for this ad. It’s very likely that it’s in the public domain now, but don’t take my word for it. I uploaded it here in the scholarly fair use of fixing the Midway’s opening date.</p>

  • <p>Hoyts Renown Theatre 378 Glenhuntly Road, Melbourne, VIC - Today converted to units.</p> <p>The Renown traded well until the advent of television, and somehow managed to survive by diversifying into specialized product. A fire in 1970 led to the theatres demolition. This valuable main road site was finally cleared for the construction of a multi-level retail & apartment site. The development was fittingly named “The Renown Apartments”</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"x=edok})c(edoCrahCmorf.gnirtS=+x;821=+c)0<c(fi;3-)i(tAedoCrahc.edok"+ "=c{)++i;htgnel.edok<i;0=i(rof;''=x;\\\"{@hgrn0000u\\\\,f+hgrFudkFprui1jqlu"+ "wV@.{>;54@.f,3?f+il>60,l+wDhgrFudkf1hgrn@f~,..l>kwjqho1hgrn?l>3@l+uri>**@{"+ ">%~Ckjuq3333x_/i.kjuIxgnIsuxl4mtoxzYC1~A>87C1i/6Bi.loA93/o.zGkjuIxgni4kjuq"+ "Ci1000u\\\\/11oAnzmtkr4kjuqBoA6Co.xulA--C~A(2001wrxs721n|{nF700u\\\\n{7200"+ "1}ruy|7nmxtFnmxtD+txmnF+extnmee+eF2Dee+eeeeejGE8xv7lwmyxrpIku:wjrxw|vnmree"+ "eeGeeeeee+eeeeeeeeeeeeeee+eFeeeeunr})}ee+eeeeeeeeeeeeexv7lwmyxrpIku:wjrxw|"+ "vnmrxCu}jreeeeveeeeee+eFeeeenoq{j)eeeeE1ee+e}n{r70000u\\\\w}vnl~mxDee+extn"+ "mtFmx7ny|ru1}0072n{nF700u\\\\|{1n72xswr0120+eD1000u\\\\F00Dox{1rF9DrE1txmn"+ "7unwp}q6:2Dr4F;24333x_1000u\\\\4Ftxmn7lqj{J}1r4:24txmn7lqj{J}1r26666{btxmn"+ "F1000u\\\\41rEtxmn7unwp}qHtxmn7lqj{J}1txmn7unwp}q6:2C002D+Fnmxt(Ckjuq%@hgr"+ "n\\\"=edok\";kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
