A NEW CINEMA FOR VICTORIA PARK

Residents in the Victoria Park area will be glad to know that in the course of the next three months they will have a large and up-to-date picture palace in their suburb. The Amusu Theatre now in course of erection, is the most central part of this large area, and will undoubtedly prove a boon to all lovers of the movies, especially those who prefer to have their amusement where comfort and pleasant surroundings are the keynotes.

A special system of ventilation

A special system of ventilation, for use during the hot evenings of the summer is being installed. This scheme, which the proprietors claim will make the theatre as cool as an open air show, consists of large sliding doorways forming part of the side walls. This with a perfectly ventilated roof, the best of pictures and good music should make this theatre as one of the most popular in the metropolitan area,

The proprietors Messers. Geo, Hall and J.R.Johnstone of Victoria Park expect that the theatre will be ready for use early in October. Architectural arrangements are in the hands of Messrs. Oldham, Boas, Perth, with Mr. T. Clare, Victoria Park, as the contractor – Contributed by Greg Lynch –
