  • <h1>Christine Rich and Frank Terry outside Little Gem Theatre in Wagin (Chloe Papas / ABC Local)</h1>
            
              <p>26 November, 2013 9:50AM AWST - The little theatre that could By Chloe Papas</p>
            
              <p>The Little Gem movie theatre in Wagin has won the fight to keep its doors open to the public. Despite the tide of home-based downloadable entertainment, the community has saved its cinema.</p>
            
              <p>Raising almost $45,000 from community donations, the staff at Little Gem have purchased a brand new digital projector and will continue to show films for the foreseeable future.</p>
            
              <p>The team, run completely on a volunteer basis, were told in March that their old 35mm projector would no longer cut it, and the switch to digital was mandatory.</p>
            
              <p>For a little theatre in a little town, it was a death sentence - almost.</p>
            
              <p>Volunteer Christine Rich says that although their target was daunting, the team never blinked: “We said right from the start that failure was not an option.”</p>
            
              <p>The Great Southern community threw their support behind Little Gem, a theatre that has become a central hub for towns stretching from Wagin to Boddington.</p>
            
              <p>In just over 7 months, the volunteers had raised enough money through Facebook callouts and wood raffles to call up the big guns in Perth and order their new projector.</p>
            
              <p>But although Little Gem Theatre will keep its doors open, for the man behind the theatre, the victory is bittersweet.</p>
            
              <h1>“It will be good where quality is concerned, but for me, I prefer the ‘click click click’ of the old projectors,” says Frank Terry.</h1>

              <h1>TRIBUTE - TRIBUTE - Frank Terry</h1>
            
              <p>Peter Narducci writes - It is indeed with sadness we farewell Frank Terry. I met Frank Terry many years ago when I was employed as an area representative for Atkins Carlyle.</p>
            
              <p>Frank operated an electrical shop in Wagin and I would call in to see Frank and we would chat about the cinema industry and forthcoming movies. Frank also operated the Wagin Drive-in.</p>
            
              <p>One day, Frank said..“Have you got a few minutes to spare..I want to show you my dream project” We walked around to a building that Frank told me was an old SEC office depot and said “ This is going to be turned into a movie theatre” Over the next few months, Frank would show me the stages of the development of the Little Gem Theatre.</p>
            
              <p>One of my favourite memories was Frank’s idea of overcoming a fireproof problem for some curtains that he had to install in the theatre. Frank found that a phosphorous nitrogen compound and the use of dye did the job. The curtains looked fantastic.</p>
            
              <p>I never did sit in the Little Gem Theatre to watch a full movie but Frank “threw” a few movie shorts on the screen to prove that his theatre was going to be something that the Wagin community would enjoy for many years to come!
              He was so correct! A man of great vision and a gentleman - So long Frank. You will be missed but never forgotten!</p>
