Lyceum Picture Gardens 659 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley, WA - Newspaper advert 1926
Originally known as The Lyceum, then The State, finally The Astor.
Note: The Lyceum Picture Gardens were the first Perth suburban Picture Gardens to feature an upstairs gallery. In 1930 it was reinvented again and named the State Theatre and State Summer Gardens and later in the ’30s it got a facelift and extensive renovations. The gardens were closed in 1970.
Finally in 1941, the venue became known as what it is today, the Astor Theatre. The venue had to loose ‘State’ from its title due to a government decree that no private company could use the term.
