  • <p>Ambassadors Theatre 625 Hay Street, Perth, WA - Original opening night souvenir program 1928.</p>
            
              <p>Image - This is the original souvenir program for the opening night of the Ambassadors theatre, on September 29, 1928.</p>
            
              <p>The program proclaimed: There is but one Ambassadors. Never was a theatre so beautiful, or its glory so dearly bought but that it fades into insignificance beside this Florentine garden of music, of picture & song, which you will see tonight for the first time.</p>

Launch date was July 2, 1949 and — in addition to two features “Thief of Baghdad” and “Fall In,” there was a fireworks show as well. The drive-in advertises as the largest drive-in in the world. The claim is rather hard for patrons to check in the pre-Internet world.</p>
