  • <p>Bendigo - Founded as a sheep run in 1840, the city’s official name was Sandhurst until 1891, when it was formally changed to honour a local prizefighter who compared his own prowess to that of the English pugilist known as Bendigo. Declared a municipal district in 1855 and a shire in 1863, Bendigo became a city in 1871.</p>
            
              <p>Image - Original drawing of the Sandhurst Theatre, to be known as The Royal Princess.</p>
            
              <h1>One of Bendigo’s most treasured theatres, The Royal Princess Theatre, opened on 31 August 1874.</h1>
            
              <p>Everything from vaudeville to classical theatrical productions, pantomimes, vocal and music recitals, opera, ballet and elocutionary competitions were presented on the Princess’ stage with a constant stream of reputed local, national and international artists and touring companies to sustain them.</p>
            
              <p>By the beginning of the 20th century, the Royal Princess and the Masonic theatre (now The Capital) had quickly embraced the phenomenon of moving pictures with the latter host to some of the first film screenings in Bendigo courtesy of travelling picture show-men.</p>
            
              <h1>An immediate hit with audiences moving pictures transitioned quickly from being a novelty, sometimes screened as filler between vaudeville acts, to being the main event.</h1>

  • <p>The Royal Princess Theatre was opened on 31st August 1874.</p>
            
              <h1>The magnificent dome & modernised chandelier</h1>
            
              <p>Photo - Commercial Photographic Co, photographer. Cowper & Murphy, architect. 1936 - State Library of Victoria</p>
            
              <p>The cost of the building was £12,000 with a capacity of 2,000 people. The building was designed by William Charles Vahland. The site was at the corner of View Street and McKenzie Street, with the frontage facing View Street. The auditorium was on three levels and seated 650 in the pit (rear stalls), 200 in the stalls, 250 in the dress circle and 850 in the gallery. A further 50 were seated in the six stage boxes.</p>
            
              <p>The frontage of the theatre was 80ft wide x 60ft, which inside the auditorium the proscenium was 30ft wide by 18ft high. The stage was 56ft deep. Stage lighting at the time was by gas until the Electric Supply Co, of Victoria Ltd. had DC power available in 1898. The theatre was described as comparable to anything Drury Lane in London had to offer. The original proprietor’s of the theatre John Croley died on 26th March 1899 aged 72 years, while William Billy Heffernan died 23rd March 1891 aged 81 years.</p>
            
              <h1>Architectural firm Cowper, Murphey & Appleford were employed to re-design and modernise the theatre. The new style was Art Deco. The rebuilt and invigorated Princess Theatre opened on 4th December 1936 with Bette Davies in “Front Page Woman”.</h1>

  • <p>When the Plaza was equipped for 70mm Todd-AO, it was renamed the Paris. It lost none of its comfort and the huge screen image was impressive, but I can’t help feeling that it lost a good deal of its atmosphere. The old Plaza proscenium can be seen peeping over the top of the new curtain tracking.</p>
  • <p>Paris Theatre Arcade Lane, Adelaide, SA - 1966</p>
            
              <h1>In February 1966, the Plaza Theatre was renamed the Paris Theatre and opened with its new signage with “The Sound of Music” in the Todd-AO process, lasting two years and three weeks.</h1>
            
              <p>“The Sound of Music” concluded its long engagement on Saturday May 25, 1968. A few months later, after a few very minor features, the theatre closed with “A Guide to the Married Man” and was completely demolished in late-1968, to allow for the completion of a shopping arcade, which also decimated her beautiful sister theatre, the Regent Theatre.</p>
            
              <p>In April 1969 a new cinema opened on the former Plaza/Paris Theatre site, with Julie Andrews in “Star!”. Known as Regent 2, it was designed by architect Peter Muller. Since that time it has been twinned and was still operating in 2001, but has since closed - Notes by KinoCQ/Australian Cinema And Theatre Society.</p>

              <h1>Second Chance is RKO Radio’s first foray into the world of 3-D film, a prevalent cinema fad in the 1950s,</h1>
            
              <p>Second Chance featured the top RKO stars, including bad guy Jack Palance fresh from his critically well-regarded work on Shane (1953). The picture is also the first Hollywood 3-D feature shot on a foreign location.</p>
            
              <p>Critic Jeff Stafford believes the 3-D format was often unjustly maligned and in the early 1950s, was on the verge of “moving beyond the exploitable ‘in your face’ aspects” into more creative uses of the technology when the fad died. He makes the case that the final scenes of Second Chance were “much more intense in 3-D when the depth of field and spatial relationships create a genuine sense of vertigo.</p>

  • <h1>Opened on March 9, 1961, the 814-seat Cooper Theatre was the first of three Cinerama theatres built by the Cooper Foundation in the early-1960’s.</h1>
            
              <p>Known as the Golden Triangle, the three theatres were located in Denver, Omaha, and Minneapolis. Complete with massive screens and the latest sound technology, all three were designed to exhibit films made in the 3-strip Cinerama process.</p>
            
              <p>Renamed as the Cooper Cameo Theatre on December 25, 1975 when a second 300-seat Cameo Theatre was added to the side of the existing Cooper Theatre. The theatre later became part of the Commonwealth Theatres circuit, who franchised the Cooper name. They also built the Cooper 5, Cooper 6, Cooper 7, and Cooper Twin (none of which were Cinerama theatres), which were constructed to mimick the round, elevated roofs of the existing Cooper theatres.</p>
            
              <p>Visitors came from all over to see the Cooper Theatre and its wonderous screen. But after several years of delighting audiences and packing full houses, the Cooper Theatre began to draw fewer crowds.</p>
            
              <p>After Commonwealth Theatres, the Cooper Theatre was run by United Artists, who continued to operate the theatre until it was sold. Like Cinerama itself, the Cooper Theatre in Denver did not last forever. After years of changing hands, the massive theatre was finally sold to Barnes & Noble, who razed it in 1994 to build a new store.</p>
