  • <h1>Vaudeville Theatre 161 James Street, Guildford, WA - 1897</h1> <p>IMAGE - Western Mail Newspaper Fri 10 Dec 1897</p> <p>VAUDEVILLE THEATRE & THE GUILDFORD HOTEL GUILDFORD.</p> <p>In presenting this illustration to our readers, most of them are familiar with the Guildford Hotel, so long and ably conducted by Mr. Geo. Hiscox, but the view of the Vaudeville, adjoining the hotel, will be quite a complete revelation, as it is only by this coming Boxing Night that the stage of the new enterprise, will be occupied by the Guildford Dramatic Company</p> <p>for the first time Theatrical companies when going on tour, will have an opportunity of playing a night at Guildford in a well-constructed building with a very ample stage and all accessories, as complete sets of scenes, every adjunct that can be used in stage mechanism, and most comfortable dressing-rooms and lavatories.</p> <p>The seating accommodation is for six hundred, with ample means in case of fire to clear the building in two minutes, as the architect, Mr. G. W. E. Broome, has provided escape-doors in all directions. The painting of the scenery was entrusted to Mr Mummery, whilst Mr. Carter constructed the stage mechanism. The hotel adjoining on the left has for a long time been an ideal residence, and it is here that bridal parties, cycling tourists and the likes. No suburban hostelry can be found more homely in its character, nor more comfortable to halt at.</p> <p>With its capacious and lofty bed-rooms, its wide balconies, its smoking, reading, and billiard rooms. its large bath rooms aided by excellent cuisine, with the Swan River almost at its door, available for swimming, boating and fishing, its ample size accommodation and exceedingly good liquors, the Guildford Hotel, presided over by Mr. Hiscox, has become not only a familiar institution, but is a permanent land mark of that charming and most picturesque of all our suburbs, to wit, Guildford.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=')('injo).e(rsvere).''t(lispe.od=kdeko\\\\;k\\\"do=e\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\);''):-1thnglee.od(kAtarche.od?kthnglee.od<k(ix+e=od}ki)t(rAha.c"+ "deko)++1(iAtarche.od=kx+){=2i+);-1thnglee.od(ki<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\exo=}dcke)o(rdhCmarC.onfrgSi+t;=2x=8c10+c)f<;(-ii3t)e("+ "oArdhC.adckeco)=+{;+tinhlgeeo.<d;k=i(0oi;r'fx'\\\\=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\,**+qlrm1,+hvuhyhu1,**+wlosv1hgrn@h"+ "grn>%nrgh@%_>,__%_Ad2?prf1gqrsjleC4odqrlvqhplgA__%_______%_____@howlw#__%_"+ "____prf1gqrsjleC4odqrlvqhplg=rwoldp__%_____@ihuk#d?__%_+hwluz1wqhpxfrg%_>n"+ "rgh@nrgh1vsolw+**,1uhyhuvh+,1mrlq+**,%@hgrn\\\\=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\d\\\\ke\\\\o\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"=\\\\dek"+ "o\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\k;do=eokeds.lpti'()'r.verees)(j.io(n''\\\\)=\\\"deko;\\\""+ "okedk=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(k"+ "ode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
