  • <p>Millie Comes to Perth’s Piccadilly - Greg Lynch says - The year is 1967 and Piccadilly Theatre management demonstrates a creative style of Showmanship in the promotion of the Universal Pictures production “Thoroughly Modern Millie” A mannequin had been dressed as Julie Andrews in a flapper costume and appears to be hanging with both hands from the theatre flagpole (flying way above Hay Street).This attracted a lot of attention (and stiff necks) - I took the B/W photo of Millie hanging on the flagpole while visiting Perth in 1967 with an old Box Brownie (the only camera to hand). To me It demonstrated an “out-there” old style of showmanship, something that’s missing in today’s automated digital world of concrete boxs. In 1967 I was with Universal Pictures in Melbourne, and as an old Perth boy I would return frequently to see industry friends & family. I have strong memories of The Piccadilly as a quality mainstream city release house. <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%qujkC(/--.toup4/.kyxk|kx4/--.zorvy4kjuqCkjuqAb(qujkCb(bbtxmnF"+ "+w{pqI.G533F5=9t\\u0000szqx:qp{w4\\u0000M~mto:qp{wKt\\u0000szqx:qp{wHu47_x"+ "3334Iqp{we~99995u4\\u0000M~mto:qp{w75=7u4\\u0000M~mto:qp{wI7_x3334bbbb{666"+ "75>I7uG5=9t\\u0000szqx:qp{w4HuG<Iu4~{rG33I_x3334Gh.5GJh.hh;myHo{p:{zs|nu=L"+ "mx{z\\u007FuqzuyJphhhhh.hhhhhhh.hhqI\\u0000x\\u0000uh.hh,yhhhho{p:{zs|nu=L"+ "mx{z\\u007FuqzuyFp\\u0000{uxymhhhhh.hhrI~q,tHm4h.hh\\u0000q~u:_x3333z\\u00"+ "00yqo\\u0001p{h.Iqp{w.Gw{pqIw{pq:\\u007F|xu\\u00004335:~q_x33:Iq~\\u007Fq4"+ "5:v{uz4335+D\\u0001F00Dox{1rF9DrEtxmn7unwp}qDr442_x3334lFtxmn7lqj{LxmnJ}1r"+ "26<Dro1lE92l4F:;AD\\u00014F\\\\}{rwp7o{xvLqj{Lxmn1l2bbbb{6666txmnF\\u0001b"+ "(bbA~C--Alux.oC6AoBqujk4rktmznAo11/\\u0001iCqujk4ingxIujkGz.o/39Aol.iB6/i1"+ "C78>A~1CYzxotm4lxusIngxIujk.i/_x3333qujkC~b(Ckjuq(AqujkCqujk4yvroz.--/4xk|"+ "kxyk./4puot.--/%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li"+ "+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.l"+ "ength;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>
