  • <p>Designed by architect R.J. Denneby, this is how the auditorium of Perth’s Grand Theatre looked in c.1916.</p>

  • <p>This Grand Opening ad from The Daily News of Huntingdon PA, May 17, 1950, establishes the opening date of the Midway Drive-In. The Midway ran a similar ad a couple of days earlier promoting the opener.</p> <p>I have no interest in the copyright for this ad. It’s very likely that it’s in the public domain now, but don’t take my word for it. I uploaded it here in the scholarly fair use of fixing the Midway’s opening date.</p>

  • <p>Hoyts Renown Theatre 378 Glenhuntly Road, Melbourne, VIC - Today converted to units.</p> <p>The Renown traded well until the advent of television, and somehow managed to survive by diversifying into specialized product. A fire in 1970 led to the theatres demolition. This valuable main road site was finally cleared for the construction of a multi-level retail & apartment site. The development was fittingly named “The Renown Apartments”</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"==xdeko)}(cdeCoarChomfrg.intr=Sx+8;12+=)c<0(cif3;)-(iAtdeCo"+ "arche.od=k{c+)i+h;gten.ldekoi<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\"\\\\*,+*lqmr,1h+uvyhuh,1**"+ "w+olvsh1rg@nghnr%>rnhg%@r_hn_g%_@_rgxfhpwqz1luhw___%____+d?k\\\\h@#_u__i__"+ "______%_d__o_rpglpwq=llqhovCrlds4qe1jrr_g__f__p______#__l%_o_@w_w__h______"+ "__%_______________%_g__p_qAllqhovCrlds4qe1jrr?gdf_p__2__A%_,_>>___%{@**>ir"+ "u+l@3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nrgh1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l0000\\\\u,"+ "\\\\nrgh@{.+l?nrgh1ohqjwkBnrgh1fkduDw+nrgh1ohqjwk04,=**,%>>_@{**i>url+3@l>"+ "+?rnhgo1qhwj0k,4l>@.,5{~@.rnhgf1dkDu+w.l,4n.gr1hkfudwDl+0,00u0\\\\\\\\rnhg"+ "{@+.?lrnhgo1qhwjBkrnhgf1dkDu+wrnhgo1qhwj0k,4*=,*%>h@rg\\\\n=\\\"deko;\\\"o"+ "kedk=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(ko"+ "de.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
