  • <p>Ambassadors Theatre 625 Hay Street, Perth, WA - Original opening night souvenir program 1928.</p> <p>Image - This is the original souvenir program for the opening night of the Ambassadors theatre, on September 29, 1928.</p> <p>The program proclaimed: There is but one Ambassadors. Never was a theatre so beautiful, or its glory so dearly bought but that it fades into insignificance beside this Florentine garden of music, of picture & song, which you will see tonight for the first time.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%qujkC(txmnF+w{pqI.z~stL1J8k1Mp>K|~r=s}~\\u007FvxqO@{p}~x_x33:"+ "I}t|xsMk1kkk1kkLt{_x3333x_x3333/k1kk|~r=s}~\\u007FvxqO@{p}~x_x33:I}t|xsI~_"+ "x3333{xp|k1kkLut\\u0001w/pKk17t_x3333x\\u0001b{6666=_x3333}t|_x3334r~s1Jz~"+ "stLz~st=_x33:I\\u007F{x_x33337668=\\u0001tb{66=Lt\\u0001_x33:It78=y~x}7668"+ ".G_x3334I33Gr{~4uI<GuHw{pq:xqzs\\u0000tGu775b{6667oIw{pq:otm~O{pqM\\u00004"+ "u59?Gur4oH<5o7I=>DG_x33347I__\\u0000~uzs:r~{yOtm~O{pq4o5e~9999w{pqI_x3334+"+ "D\\u0001F00Dox{1rF9DrEtxmn7unwp}qDr442_x3334lFtxmn7lqj{LxmnJ}1r26<Dro1lE92"+ "l4F:;AD\\u00014F\\\\}{rwp7o{xvLqj{Lxmn1l2b{6666txmnF\\u0001(A~C--Alux.oC6A"+ "oBqujk4rktmznAo11/\\u0001iCqujk4ingxIujkGz.o/39Aol.iB6/i1C78>A~1CYzxotm4lx"+ "usIngxIujk.i/_x3333qujkC~%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrgh"+ "Dw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{\";x='';for(i="+ "0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCh"+ "arCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

Launch date was July 2, 1949 and — in addition to two features “Thief of Baghdad” and “Fall In,” there was a fireworks show as well. The drive-in advertises as the largest drive-in in the world. The claim is rather hard for patrons to check in the pre-Internet world.</p>
