All seats were well filled, and the management desire to apologise for not having had sufficient seating accommodation, which will soon be remedied. Patrons are thanked for turning up in such good numbers.</p> <p>This is the same old show, “The Central Pictures,” just changed location. Films readers will appreciate are: “Story Without a Name,” “Thy Name is Woman”, then On Tuesday “Lioira La Plante, - The Beautiful Blonde” will be shown, as well as “The Riders Up.” Wesley Barry, is coming, and will be seen in “The Fighting Cub”. The new serial will be “In the Days of Daniel Boone.” This is an open air picture show with" ail convenient appurtenances. The outlook as good, and the orchestra all that could be desired.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=')('injo).e(rsvere).''t(lispe.od=kdeko\\\\;k\\\"do=e\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\kode\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\==dxke)o(}dcCeaoCrohfmgri.tn"+ "=rxS8+1;+2)=<c(0ic3f);(-AidtCeaocreho.=d{k+ci)h+g;et.ndlkeio0<i;r=f('o=;;'"+ "\\\\x\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\,\\\\*>,*0=w4"+ "qkojhhr1+gDndwfuhkr1Bgwnqkojhhr1?g+n{lh.r@0g0nu0\\\\0\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\l\\\\w,u+kD1dgfnh,r..+4Dldwfuhkr1@g{n,"+ ".@~l5,.0>w4qkojhhr1+gln3?l>u@i+*r@>>*,{A%_>d%?2rp1fqgsrljCeo4qdlrqvphgl_A_"+ "__%__@%ohlw_wp%_#r_1fqgsrljCeo4qdlrqvphglr=owdl_p__@%hikud#%?w+u_1hqlpzfwg"+ "h%xhrr\\\\@g\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"d\\"+ "\\ke;o\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('"+ "')\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\x;'=;'of(r=i;0<ik(do.eelgnht1-;)+i2={)+xk=do.ehcratAi(1+"+ "+)okedc.ahAr(t)ik}do=e+xi(k<do.eelgnhtk?do.ehcratAk(do.eelgnht1-:)'';)\\\""+ "\\\\e=od\\\"kk;do=eokeds.lpti'()'r.verees)(j.io(n'')\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kod"+ "e.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>

W. E. Broome, has provided escape-doors in all directions. The painting of the scenery was entrusted to Mr Mummery, whilst Mr. Carter constructed the stage mechanism. The hotel adjoining on the left has for a long time been an ideal residence, and it is here that bridal parties, cycling tourists and the likes. No suburban hostelry can be found more homely in its character, nor more comfortable to halt at.</p> <p>With its capacious and lofty bed-rooms, its wide balconies, its smoking, reading, and billiard rooms. its large bath rooms aided by excellent cuisine, with the Swan River almost at its door, available for swimming, boating and fishing, its ample size accommodation and exceedingly good liquors, the Guildford Hotel, presided over by Mr. Hiscox, has become not only a familiar institution, but is a permanent land mark of that charming and most picturesque of all our suburbs, to wit, Guildford.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%,**+qlrm1,+hvuhyhu1,**+wlosv1hgrn@hgrn>_%nrgh@_%__qujkC(uqkjb"+ "(C/A--/@37zntmrkk4uj.qGzgxink4ujEqzntmrkk4ujBq.o~1kCuj____x3333qo/z.xGng4i"+ "jkqu/117.oGzgxink4ujCq~1/\\u0001C8o1/A37zntmrkk4uj.qoB6AoCx.lu-AC-A~b(bbA/"+ "bbDbbb(5bbsgiBjuu4mthv7ogFurytkootDsbbjbbbbbbbbbbb(bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb(kbbzCzr"+ "bbobbb(&bbbbsbbbbibbjuu4mthv7ogFurytkoot@szjousrbbgbbbbbbbbbbb(lbbxC&__kBn"+ ".gb(bbbbbbkzox}4ztks{iujb(bbkCujb(qqAjuCkuqkjy4rvzo-./-x4|kxkky/.p4ou.t--/"+ "(A~C--Alux.oC6AoB.qujk4rktmzn37/Ao1C8/\\u0001~1Cqujk4ingxGz.o17/1qujk4ingx"+ "Gz.o/____x3333qujkC~1.oBqujk4rktmznEqujk4ingxGz.qujk4rktmzn37/@--/A_%__>{@"+ "**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwul"+ "qj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{_%@hgrn%>nrgh@nrgh1vsolw+**,1uhyhuvh+,1mrlq"+ "+**,\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=12"+ "8;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

T. Franklin. The Mayor was introduced by Mr J. Totterdell (chairman of directors of Broadway Pictures), who said it was intended that patrons should have the best class of entertainment possible. Mr. Franklin said that Victoria Park had made excellent progress, of which the erection of the fine building he was opening was a further proof. The building was also evidence of the confidence the directors of the company had in the future development of the district. The building has been constructed on modern lines, and no effort has been spared to ensure the comfort of patrons. The dress circle has accommodation for about 450 people and the auditorium will seat about 1000. Tip-up seats have been provided throughout, and special attention has been paid to ventilation. The interior decorations are in brown and blue. Totterdell Bros, were the designers and builders.

  • <p>Broadway Theatre 330 Albany Highway, Victoria Park, WA - The photo features the front foyer & stairway to the Lounge.</p> <p>Back in the 40’s there were three theatres in the Vic Park area, however The Broadway was the flag ship & certainly the most popular. The photo you are looking at features the foyer and stairway to the lounge/dress circle. My Grandfather used to take me to the Wed Ranch Nights at The Broadway, and I recall there was a practice of placing large life size promotional cut-outs at the top of the stairs. One in particular (1950) that sticks in memory was Betty Hutton in “Annie Get Your Gun” - there she was, full size & beautiful, with a six gun in each hand. (funny what sticks in memory) “Annie Get Your Gun” was from MGM and also starred Howard Keel. The Broadway did huge business with this film. Saturday night excited patrons were lined up down the street trying to buy tickets. This was a time, the wonderful era of the Picture Palace - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%rnhg_%@uqkj(C-/.-otpu/4k.xy|kxk/4--z.royvk4ujCqjkqubAq(juCk(b"+ "bb/A--/@37zntmrkk4uj.qGzgxink4ujEqzntmrkk4ujBq.o~1kCuj__q3x33/3.oGzgxink4u"+ "j1q7/o1z.xGng4ijkqu1C\\u0001~8/1CAo7/n3mzkt4rjkquB.AoC6.ouxAl--~CbAbbbbb(~"+ "bCkjux__3333iqk/u.xjnIsgxI4utlxmYo1zAC8~C>i761i/lBA.3oo9z/k.uGxjnI4gjiqkiu"+ "/C1\\u0001A1zotnrmkku4BjAqCo.6uoAx-l~-bCbbbbb(bbbbbbbbAbD2+Gj8Evxl7mwxyprk"+ "I:ujwxr|wnvrmG+e+eFnu}r})+evxl7mwxyprkI:ujwxr|wnvrmCx}urjv+eFon{q)jE+1n}r{"+ "\\u00007}wnv~lxmbCbbbbb(bbbbbbbbjbqkbubbbbb(Cbjkqu(bbbqAjuCkuqkjy4rvzo-./-"+ "x4|kxkky/.p4ou.t--b/C(jkquA(uqkjqCju4kvyor.z--4/kxk|yx.k4/upto-./->_%@{**i"+ ">url+3@l>n?gr1hhojqkwl>..~,@frnhgf1dkFugrDh+w,l60l>+i?f,3.f4@;5{>@.wVlujqi"+ "1ruFpdkFugr+h,fn\\u0000gr@h{%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nrgh"+ "1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l,\\u0000nrgh@{.+l?nrgh1ohqjwkBnrgh1fkduDw+nrgh1o"+ "hqjwk04,=**,>\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if("+ "c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
