  • <p>Astor Theatre 659 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley, WA</p> <h1>Survival of The Astor Theatre Mt Lawley - Putting the record straight</h1> <p>In 1971 Ben & Anna Parri took over the lease of the New Oxford Theatre, Leederville re-naming it “The Olympia” - a dramatic change of policy followed which involved the screening of Italian, Greek & Chinese films. Major International acts followed, such as “Little Tony “The Italian Elvis”, Gianni Morandi , & Orietta Berti . Over a 7 year period the policy is very successful. At the end of the lease the Parri’s move to The Astor Theatre, Mt Lawley which they favour because of its centralised position.</p> <h1>Innovation and experimentation at The Astor Mt Lawley between 1978 & 1985</h1> <p>What followed at The Astor was a period of innovation and experimentation that extended over an eight year period. These are regarded as the Golden Years that succeeded despite a depressed theatrical environment. It is this writers opinion that The Astor would never have survived without the efforts of Ben & Anna Parri. They kept the candle burning brightly with policies of constant change, and It is doubtful that The Astor will never again experience box office grosses the likes of International Super-Star “Toto Cutugno”, and a string of major Italian international acts that graced the Astor’s stage, such as Riccardo Fogli, Lando Fiorini, Nino Reitano, Giacomo Rondinella. While Umberto Tozzi, Ricchi e Poveri, Lucien Taioli and Nilla Pizzi played the Concert Hall & The Italian Club for The Parri family.</p> <h1>Hollywood in Italian at The Astor..</h1> <p>Rocky in the Italian version screened at The Astor to huge figures. Italian’s love Rocky to the point that Stallone said he contemplated having Rocky’s last fight staged in the Coliseum in Rome. Other films in the Italian version to fill The Astor were Quo Vadis, The 10 Commandments, Ben Hur, Dr Zhivago,& Spartacus.</p> <h1>Three Dimensional movies at The Astor.</h1> <p>To offer a wider selection of product for the English market the Parri’s decided to build another theatre in the upstairs foyer. It was intimate, comfortable with good sight lines.The Paris Theatre in Hay street were screening “Comin At Ya” in 3D to record breaking figures. At the end of the season it was decided to shift the film into the Parri’s new Mt Lawley cinema complex. At the same time The Stewardesses in anamorphic 3D completed it’s Melbourne season and was moved directly into The Astor. Both films in the new 3D process played during 1981 to excellent figures. At the time The Astor was the only cinema complex outside the city of Perth that was equipped to screen 3D movies.</p> <h1>The Astor as a community hub & meeting place.</h1> <p>The Astor had a wide screening policy that included a smörgåsbord of regular play-time for English / Italian / Greek / R Rated, and Chinese Kung Fu movies screening on Sunday. Bingo was featured on a weekly basis attracting large numbers of people. The Astor was a regular and popular meeting place for many ethnic groups .</p> <h1>Social significance</h1> <p>Ben & Anna Parri are major Pioneers in West Australian Cinema and Live International Entertainment. A contribution that stretches across a spectrum of exhibition genres. Their tenure at the Olympia Theatre Leederville and The Astor Theatre Mt Lawley should be celebrated as important because motion pictures, live entertainment and the bringing of communities together continue to be a part of our lives and our future.

  • <p>Civic Theatre 919 Beaufort Street, Inglewood, WA</p> <p>Tom Snooks was actively involved with the Civic Theatre site in Inglewood, Western Australia from the early 1920s until his death in 1958. It was in the early 1920s that Tom built the Piccadilly Picture Gardens, which was one of the first outdoor film-showing venues in the inner north-eastern suburbs. It was a structure that fascinated the local children, as it was built to resemble a castle, clad in appropriately painted corrugated iron. Owing to the success of this venture he reshaped the entire site in the early 1930s, building an indoor cinema with an adjoining picture gardens – now rechristened the Civic Theatre – together with a series of shops providing second-storey accommodation and two blocks of flats. He was the designer, builder, and owner of this prominent complex that occupies the corner of Beaufort Street and Dundas Road. Tom chose the name Civic because, like the clock tower that looked both ways along this arterial road, it looks the same from both directions. Being a thrifty man, the earlier name Piccadilly was reused for the new flats.
