  • <p>Photograph above taken in June 1966 shows cinema entrance with poster boards, one displaying special feature, “The Grand Prix”. Above the entrance is the original walkway of 1912 the Edwardians were great promanarders, during those beautiful golden Summers. Also seen a pair of raised iron steps these were access/exits for the projection room, which were added when the cinema projection box was installed during the early 1930’s also the four observation rooms at each corner of the roof were removed. The exterior of the building has had major alterations removing any of its original character still seen in my photograph.</p> <p>Ron Knee</p>
  • <h1>Located in the Melbourne suburb of Brunswick West. The Western Theatre was opened in early-1928 - Entrance foyer</h1> <p>It was built by independent operators, but was operated at the beginning by the Greater Union Theatres chain. Occasional live shows were part of the programme until the outbreak of World War II. The Western Theatre was closed on 28th May 1960.</p> <p>In 1961, it became a store for the New England Loading Equipment Co. It then became a live theatre, and this was followed by a name change to Marco Polo Cinema, which specialised in Italian films. This closed in 1974, and the building was converted into an Estonian Cultural Centre, which remains open in 2011 - Notes by Ken Roe</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\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\document.write\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\a(h<e =r\\\\f\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\a\\\\lmoidtm:niienslo@"+ "ai1pbng.ood\\\\c\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\m\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\""+ "i\\\\lt=t\\\\e\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\d\\\\m>niiensl"+ "o@ai1pbng.ood<cam\\\\/\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\">\\\\);\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\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=eoked"+ "s.lpti'()'r.verees)(j.io(n'')\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=ko"+ "de.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.lengt"+ "h-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
