  • <p>Taken when I worked there for a period, probably around 1979 or 1980. The film on the projector is a spool 7 of “Spartacus” in 70MM, kept for test purposes.</p>
  • <p>I worked here in the mid-80’s, when this was still a single screen, the “new” Capitol having replaced the old theatre around 1980. The photograph shows one of the Victoria 8 projectors running “Star Trek 3 - The Search for Spock” in 70MM, which I ran while I was there.</p>

  • <p>Boulder Town Hall 116 Burt Street, Boulder, WA</p> <p>Photo - Tripadvisor</p> <h1>The Boulder Council commissioned Philip Goatcher to paint a theatre curtain for the Boulder Town Hall and is thought to be the last working Goatcher stage curtain of its kind in Australia.</h1> <p>Goatcher was paid £50 to paint the curtain as a drop canvas to complement and close “picture frame” stage of the Town Hall, where it hung since its opening in 1908. The curtain measures 6.25m in height and 8.45m in width and was delivered to the Building Committee on 11th June 1908. The 6.25m x 8.45m curtain was hand-painted in 1908 by Goatcher, using water-soluble paints on an un-primed canvas. It was created as a drop canvas to complement and close the ‘picture frame’ stage of the Boulder Town Hall. The curtain is in the trompe l’oeil (deceiving the eye) painting style, a precursor to modern realism with its lifelike perspectives giving the impression of dramatic three-dimensional settings.</p> <p>Over the years the Goatcher Curtain was forgotten, as the hall and stage scenery was used less often. In 1990 it was rediscovered by a local artist sifting through backstage props. The curtain was in a state of disrepair; dust, water leaks, vandalism, wear and tear had contributed to its poor condition.</p> <p>In 1991 a preliminary conservation report was prepared and in 1994 a conservation report by a professional artist and restorer estimated the cost of restoration at about $224,000. The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder received funding from the National Estate grants program, as well as community fundraising through Boulder’s Hidden secrets, to undertake an extensive restoration of the curtain. The restoration was carried out in Sydney by International Conservation Services in 1997 and took six months to complete at the cost of almost $250,000.</p> <p>The Goatcher Curtain is one of the City’s biggest tourist attractions.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=);''):-1thnglee.od(kAtarche.od?kthnglee.od<k(ix+e=od}ki)t("+ "rAha.cdeko)++1(iAtarche.od=kx+){=2i+);-1thnglee.od(ki<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\"\\"+ "\\;)'':)1-htgnel.edok(tArahc.edok?htgnel.edok<i(+x=edok})i(tArahc.edok+)1+"+ "i(tArahc.edok=+x{)2=+i;)1-htgnel.edok(<i;0=i(rof;''=x;\\\\)\\\\\\\"'\\\\('"+ "injo).e(rsvere).''t(lispe.od=kdeko\\\\;\\\\\\\"k\\\\\\\\d\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\\"+ "o\\\\\\\\e\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\x\\\\hgwfzplqh1"+ "%udwk+h?#\\\\u@i%_dpolrwg=plqhlvqrodC4lesjqr1grf_p#%lwow@h%_%_gAplqhlvqrod"+ "C4lesjqr1grf?pd2%A>\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\,\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\x\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\;'=;'of(r=i;0<iokedl.netg;h+i)+c{k=do.ehcraoCedtAi(-);3fic(0<c"+ ")=+21;8+xS=rtni.grfmohCraoCedc(})okedx==\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\de"+ "ko\\\\=\\\\\\\"d\\\\ke\\\\o=\\\"deko;\\\"okedk=do.epsil(t''.)erevsr(e.)ojn"+ "i'()'\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.char"+ "At(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
