  • <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=\"oked\\\"=rnhg%@*,+*lqmr,1h+uvyhuh,1**w+olvsh1rg@nghnr_>n%gr@h%___*,"+ "+*lqmr,1h+uvyhuh,1**w+olvsh1rg@nghnr_>_____%n_gr@h____%___________uqkj(Cju"+ "i{sktz4}xozk(bg.nBk&Cxblb(gbrsuojzs@tooktyruFgo7vhtm4uujbisbb&o(rzCzbkb(bb"+ "b(jbsDtooktyruFgo7vhtm4uujBigsb5D(/AA(C~--lAxuo.6CoA.Buqkjr4tkzm3n/7oAC1/8"+ "u\\\\00101~qCju4knixgzGo.711/uqkji4gnGx.z/o________________3x33q3juCk1~o.q"+ "Bju4kkrmtnzqEju4knixgzGq.ju4kkrmtnz73@/--A/____%___________{>*@>*ri+u@l>3?"+ "lrnhgo1qhwj>k.l,.f~n@gr1hkfudrFhgwDl+0,>6ilf+3?f,@.54>;.{V@uwql1juiprkFudr"+ "Fhgf+\\\\,0u00n0gr@h_{_____%@_ghnr%___n>gr@hrnhgv1oswl*+,*u1yhuhhv,+m1lr+q"+ "**_,@%ghnr>%rnhgn@gr1hsvlo+w**1,huhyvu+h1,rmql*+,*;\\\"=x''f;roi(0=i;k<do."+ "eelgnhti;++{)=cokedc.ahCrdoAe(t)i3-i;(f<c)0+c1=82x;=+tSirgnf.orCmahCrdo(e)"+ "ck}do=ex\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.c"+ "harAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
