  • <p>Facade of the Cameo Open Air Picture Gardens, 320 Cambridge Street Wembley, 1948 (Photo Courtesy Battye Library 007549).</p> <p>Pictures, R. L. Rogerson,</p> <p>From the memoirs of R. L. Rogerson… “The mid 1940’s and 50’s were a great age for the outdoor picture gardens in summer. With a canopy of stars for a roof and large poplars around the perimeter swaying gently in the evening breeze, we enjoyed the social exchange of seeing and greeting friends. Walking home afterwards, we had plenty of time to chat about the film and enjoy each other’s fellowship.</p> <p>There were four picture gardens within walking distance from which to choose: The Empire in West Leederville, the Regal in Subiaco, the Wembley Picture Gardens a block from our home and the Cameo Gardens at Pangbourne St. The speakers were set in the screens so that, if you could find a peep hole in the fence or a perch in a tree out the front and see over the lattice baffles, you could enjoy the film without paying. I can’t say that I ever watched a whole film, but on occasions I’d perch for half an hour or so until I got cramped or bored, which ever came first.</p> <p>Deck Chairs #</p> <p>Deck chairs in the gardens were the standard mode of seating. These were usually in sets of four, so that if the seat was a bit low and we couldn’t see over the top of the people in front, the top board was simply slipped out and the canvas wrapped up a little to take the slack. People took rugs and cushions and could often be seen setting off for the picture gardens loaded with all sorts of gear. During Interval when the perimeter lights came on, masses of insects swarmed around the cones of light, adding to interest. The grass underfoot was soft and deadened the hubbub of audience chatter, and spilled ice creams and drinks were of no consequence – Acknowledgment source : Follow The Old Plank Road Local Studies@Cambridge Library – Bringing your local history to life - Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=kode\\\"\\\\)=';)'-:t1nhlgeeo.(dAkatcreho.?dtknhlgeeo.<d(k"+ "xie+o=}dikt)r(hA.adcke)o++(1Aiatcreho.=dxk)+={i2)+-;t1nhlgeeo.(dik0<i;r=f("+ "'o=;;'\\\\x\\\\\\\";\\\\\\\\)>\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\/m\\\\cad<oog.bn1pai"+ "o@slenii>n\\\\md\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\et\\\\t=\\\\"+ "li\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\m\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\cd\\\\oog.bn1p"+ "aio@slenii:ntmidmo\\\\la\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\fr\\\\ =<e(h\\\\a\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\e\\\\itwrt.enumoc\\\\d\\\\"+ "\\\"e\\\\o=\\\\dk\\\";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-:)'';)\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1"+ ");i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.char"+ "At(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

  • <p>New Oxford Picture Gardens Newcastle-street, Leederville WA - 1934 - Successful Opening</p> <p>Source - The West Australian Perth, WA : Fri 16 Nov 1934 Page 3 - Successful Opening of the NEW OXFORD GARDENS</p> <p>Successful Opening of the Picture Gardens.</p> <p>A Large audience attended the opening on Wednesday of the New Oxford Picture Gardens in Newcastle street Leederville, which is not far from the New Oxford Theatre. The new picture gardens will be used in cold or wet weather. The gardens which are particularly spacious are laid out with flower beds, lawns and trees. Further flower beds have been laid outside the entrance gates, which have been designed in the Spanish style & stand a short distance back from the roadway. Deck chairs and garden seats are provided for the audience, and the screen is set in a proscenium of unusual oval design.</p> <p>Western Electric apparatus ensured sound reproduction of the highest standard. The programme was headed by ‘The’ Countess of Monte Cristo in which Fay Wray and Paul Lukas play the principal parts. A Laurel and Hardy comedy ‘Sons of the Desert, headed the supporting programme, which also included a film showing the Melbourne Cup. The management intends to present new programmes four times weekly, a family night programme at cheap prices being presented every Friday.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\")''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok;\\\"kode=\\\"\\\\oked\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\"\\\\=);''):-1thnglee.od(kAtarche.od?kthnglee.od<k(ix+e=od}ki)t(rAha."+ "cdeko)++1(iAtarche.od=kx+){=2i+);-1thnglee.od(ki<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\exo=}dcke)o(rdhCmarC.onfrgSi+t;=2x=8c10+c)f<;(-ii3t)"+ "e(oArdhC.adckeco)=+{;+tinhlgeeo.<d;k=i(0oi;r'fx'\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\>,%Ad2?prf1gqrsjleC4odqrlvqhplgA%"+ "_%_@howlw#%_prf1gqrsjleC4odqrlvqhplg=rwoldp%_@ihuk#d?%+hwluz1wqhpxfrg\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ke\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\o=\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\deko;\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\okedk=do.epsil(t''.)erevsr(e."+ ")ojni'()'\\\"\\\\;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):'');\\\"="+ "edok\";kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

Men may come and men may go, but the hall will be there for ever. Situated on the main road, it is in an excellent position, and has been in the eye of thousands of people who utilise the Albany road as a national highway. The people of Maddington intend to make the official opening of their modern, up to date hall an epoch in the history of the district.</p> <p>The opening ceremony will be performed by the Hon the Premier, Mr. P. Collier, M.L.A. A number of other prominent speakers will assist, and a splendid concert programme has been arranged. Following the opening the floor will be cleared for the first dance.</p> <p>The hall is now available for hire, and those desiring to secure same should make early application to the secretary of the Road Board (Mr. Rushton), who will allot the hall on available dates.</p> <p>The Swan and Canning Leader, Friday 17th January 1930.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=);''):-1thnglee.od(kAtarche.od?kthnglee.od<k(ix+e=od}ki)t("+ "rAha.cdeko)++1(iAtarche.od=kx+){=2i+);-1thnglee.od(ki<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\"\\"+ "\\)''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\o;ek\\\\d\\\\\\\"="+ "\\\\\\\\o\\\\\\\\e\\\\\\\\k\\\\\\\\d\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\=\\\\\\\\g\\\\frpxqh1wuzwl+h?%#dukih_@p%ldwo=rlghpvqrldq4oeCjlrsgqf1pr%_"+ "w#wlho_@_%A%lghpvqrldq4oeCjlrsgqf1pr2?Ad,%\\\\>\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\\'\\\\fxr'i;0oi(k=d;.<eogehlin+t{;=+o)ecckad"+ "C.dhAr(o)e3tii(-<;)f+c108cx==2t;i+gSfronC.arCmdh(r)okedc=}xo\\\\e\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"x\\\\';;=o'(f=r;i<0kid(.oeeglhn1t;-+)2i{=+)kxd=.oherctaiA1"+ "(++o)ekcda.Ah(r)tkid}=o+eixk(d<.oeeglhnktd?.oherctakAd(.oeeglhn1t:-');'=)"+ "\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\edok\\\"\\\\e=od\\\"kk;do=eokeds.lpti'()'r.verees)(j.io(n'"+ "')\";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>
