New Broadway Theatre and Gardens 330 Albany Highway, Victoria Park, WA

New Picture Gardens opened 1952

Photo - This is exactly where the Picture Gardens were located (on the land at the back of the Broadway Theatre). This writer went to see one movie at the gardens in 1954, Paramount’s Knock on Wood with Danny Kaye.

The screen

The screen was placed at the rear of the Broadway Theatre building with the audience looking back on it. Sadly no photos exist to my knowledge of these Picture Gardens, as is the case with so many theatres from the Golden Era. So we will have to make do with a view of the existing carpark which will tell you it was a good size..
