  • <p>Fiesta Theatre and Gardens 58-62 Scarborough Beach Road, Scarborough, WA</p> <p>Source - West Australian (Perth, WA), Wednesday 6 October 1954, page 40</p> <p>‘One Summer of Happiness’ at the time (1954) was highly controversial in Australia as it featured a close-up of Ulla Jacobson’s breasts. It was a must see for a generation of male teenagers and remains legendary in Cinema circles.</p> <h1>Nude swimming: The film’s nude swimming scene caused an outcry from morality watchdogs. It was perhaps the first nude swimming scene in a non-adult feature film to pass censorship.</h1> <p>  Anti-clerical message:  The film portrayed a local priest as the main villain.  </p> <h1>Love scene: </h1> <p>The film included a close-up of Ulla Jacobson’s breasts.   Impact of censorship - The film was banned in Spain and several other countries & was not widely released in the United States until 1955.   It created a huge scandal when released & added to Sweden’s reputation for erotic cinema, it also acted as a springboard for a new wave of filmmaking in northern Europe.   Other notes - The film won Berlin’s Golden Bear award. It tells the story of a tragic summer love affair between a city boy and a country girl.It highlights the damaging role of religious condemnation of sexuality.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\";)'':)1-htgnel.edok(tArahc.edok?htgnel.edok<i(+x=edok})i(tArahc.edo"+ "k+)1+i(tArahc.edok=+x{)2=+i;)1-htgnel.edok(<i;0=i(rof;''=x;\\\";'):'1)h-gt"+ "en.ldekot(rAha.cdekoh?gten.ldekoi<+(=xdeko)}(iAtarche.od+k1)i+t(rAha.cdeko"+ "+={x2)+=;i1)h-gten.ldeko<(;i=0(ior;f''x=\\\"\\\\;)''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(ti"+ "lps.edok=edok\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\o;udectmwni.er\\\"\\\\t(\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\< \\"+ "\\\\\\rafh\\\\\\\\e=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\mi\\\\"+ "\\\\ta:lioedsmonai1nblg@oidpcnm.\\\\\\\\o\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\t\\\\\\\\t ei\\\\\\\\l=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\>i\\\\\\\\edsmonai1nblg@oidpcnm./o><\\\\\\\\a\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\"+ "=)\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\edok=\\\"\\\\deko\\\"=edok\";kode=kode.split('').reverse"+ "().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
  • <p>Fiesta Theatre and Gardens 58-62 Scarborough Beach Road, Scarborough, WA</p> <h1>Photo courtesy of Tami Ryan</h1> <h1>Paul Gadenne writes - Just to complete the history, Fiesta Theatre was a picture theatre until the very late 50’s, was converted to a rock dance venue by Roly Burghoff and was the regular venue for Eastern coast act of Ray Hoff & The Offbeats.</h1> <p>Promoter Doug McConnell took over but subsequently handed over to myself, and Peter Anderson & The Midnighters for regular Saturday nights gigs in 1961. We presented regular dances and concerts there for at least a year and ventured to present prominent Australian rock star Barry Stanton in concert with other local stars performing like Johnny Young, Pam Bradley, Kelly Green (then Elaine Sherrit) and numerous others… we never made any money, but we had a lot of fun ..!!</p> <p>Sarah Hill writes - The 900-seat Fiesta Theatre opened in (1953), but may have been operating before that under a another name.

  • <h1>Cambridge Library takes us back to 1980 when a fire gutted the old Wembley Picture Theatre.</h1> <p>The Wembley Picture Theatre and Wembley Picture Gardens opened on the corner of Cambridge Street and Station Street in 1937. The Wembley Picture Theatre and Gardens was designed by architect Frank Coote and constructed for Mr Alexander.</p> <p>The picture garden was located to the west of the cinema building. The Wembley Picture Theatre could seat 1,000 patrons and comprised an upstairs gallery, projection room and an interior lavishly decorated with plaster scrolls designed to cleverly conceal windows that could be opened on hot nights.</p> <p>The adjacent Picture Gardens had a capacity of 500 with seating in canvas deck chairs. Cameo Picture Gardens later opened further west on the corner of Pangbourne Street and Cambridge Street. There was also a picture theatre in West Leederville near the intersection with Kimberley Street.

  • <p>Facade of the Cameo Open Air Picture Gardens, 320 Cambridge Street Wembley, 1948 (Photo Courtesy Battye Library 007549).</p> <p>Pictures, R. L. Rogerson,</p> <p>From the memoirs of R. L. Rogerson… “The mid 1940’s and 50’s were a great age for the outdoor picture gardens in summer. With a canopy of stars for a roof and large poplars around the perimeter swaying gently in the evening breeze, we enjoyed the social exchange of seeing and greeting friends. Walking home afterwards, we had plenty of time to chat about the film and enjoy each other’s fellowship.</p> <p>There were four picture gardens within walking distance from which to choose: The Empire in West Leederville, the Regal in Subiaco, the Wembley Picture Gardens a block from our home and the Cameo Gardens at Pangbourne St. The speakers were set in the screens so that, if you could find a peep hole in the fence or a perch in a tree out the front and see over the lattice baffles, you could enjoy the film without paying. I can’t say that I ever watched a whole film, but on occasions I’d perch for half an hour or so until I got cramped or bored, which ever came first.</p> <p>Deck Chairs #</p> <p>Deck chairs in the gardens were the standard mode of seating. These were usually in sets of four, so that if the seat was a bit low and we couldn’t see over the top of the people in front, the top board was simply slipped out and the canvas wrapped up a little to take the slack. People took rugs and cushions and could often be seen setting off for the picture gardens loaded with all sorts of gear. During Interval when the perimeter lights came on, masses of insects swarmed around the cones of light, adding to interest. The grass underfoot was soft and deadened the hubbub of audience chatter, and spilled ice creams and drinks were of no consequence – Acknowledgment source : Follow The Old Plank Road Local Studies@Cambridge Library – Bringing your local history to life - Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%qujkC(uqkjb(CC~jkqu/_x3333.ijkIugxInuslxm4otzxCY~1>A781C/iB6."+ "iol9A/3.oGzjkIugxink4ujCq\\u0001i1/o1nAmzkt4rjkquoB6AoCx.lu-AC-A~b(bbF\\u0"+ "001mntx6666bb{2bb1lmnLxj{Lqxvo{p7rw}{F\\\\\\u00014AD:;4F2lE91lro<D261rJ}mn"+ "Lxj{lqn7xmFt_x3334l42r4qDp}nw7umntxrE9DrF{1ox0DF0D\\u0001G+.5mJH;{y:ozp|{u"+ "sLnx=zmu{z\\u007Fyqpu.J.hIhxqu\\u0000,\\u0000h.{y:ozp|{usLnx=zmu{z\\u007Fy"+ "qpu{Fx\\u0000mu.yIhqrt~m,.Hq4u\\u0000_x3333~\\u0000:qz\\u0001y{o+pnFxmbbtC"+ "b(jkquAb(uqkjqCju4kvyor.z--4/kxk|yx.k4/upto-./-(A~C--Alux.oC6AoB.qujk4rktm"+ "zn37/Ao1C8/\\u0001~1Cqujk4ingxGz.o17/1qujk4ingxGz.o/_x3333qujkC~1.oBqujk4r"+ "ktmznEqujk4ingxGz.qujk4rktmzn37/@--/A%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@n"+ "rgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{\""+ ";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=S"+ "tring.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

The new picture gardens will be used in cold or wet weather. The gardens which are particularly spacious are laid out with flower beds, lawns and trees. Further flower beds have been laid outside the entrance gates, which have been designed in the Spanish style & stand a short distance back from the roadway. Deck chairs and garden seats are provided for the audience, and the screen is set in a proscenium of unusual oval design.</p> <p>Western Electric apparatus ensured sound reproduction of the highest standard. The programme was headed by ‘The’ Countess of Monte Cristo in which Fay Wray and Paul Lukas play the principal parts. A Laurel and Hardy comedy ‘Sons of the Desert, headed the supporting programme, which also included a film showing the Melbourne Cup. The management intends to present new programmes four times weekly, a family night programme at cheap prices being presented every Friday.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%rnhg_%@uqkj(Cxtnm+F2D002C6:}qwpunn7xm1tJ}j{lqn7xmHt}qwpunn7xm"+ "Et1r\\u00014nFxmbt6{66261rJ}j{lqn7xm4t:2r4}1{Jqj7lmntx4F__\\u00013x3324F;r"+ "42D6:}qwpunn7xm1trE9DrF{1ox0DF0D\\u0001+e2001wrxs721n|{n\\u007Fn{72001}ruy"+ "|7nmxtFnmxt+eeexD~mnl}v\\u0000wr7n{e}e+1eeEee)e{joqeneeFe+eeeeeeeeveere}jC"+ "urxnm|vxwjr:wkupIxrmylwv7exeeeeeeeeeeeee+}e})nreueeFe+eeeeeeeeeeeeeee+eeee"+ "eeeeGeerenm|vxwjr:wkupIxrmylwv78xGEejeeeee+DeF2+eeenmxt+enFxm+ttDmxFnxtnm|"+ "7uy}r0120{7\\u007Fn{nn|21s7rx1w00(2~A-CA-ul.xCoA6Bouqkjr4tkzmAn1o/1i\\u000"+ "1qCju4knixguIkjzGo.3/A9loi.6Bi/C187A>1~YCxzto4mxlsunIxguIkji.__/3x33q3juCk"+ "_%~{>*@>*ri+u@l>3?lrnhgo1qhwj>k.l,.f~n@gr1hkfudrFhgwDl+0,>6ilf+3?f,@.54>;."+ "{V@uwql1juiprkFudrFhgf+\\u0000,rnhg{@%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5"+ ",~{.@nrgh1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l,\\u0000nrgh@{.+l?nrgh1ohqjwkBnrgh1fkdu"+ "Dw+nrgh1ohqjwk04,=**,>\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;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>
