Grand Theatre 164-168 Murray Street, Perth, WA - 1961 - Major refurbishment for the screening of “El Cid”
PHOTO - From the ROY MUDGE collection.
1961 and Samuel Bronston’s production of “El Cid” was programmed for the Grand Theatre. Management decided that major alterations would be required for the screening of such a big screen epic. The proscenium was widened and a 36ft CinemaScope screen installed. New curtains were hung which featured bright contemporary stripe-ings. A 35mm print was supplied for the engagement with optical sound. I would like to thank Roy Mudge, Perth Cinema Historian for the information on this page. Contributed by Greg Lynch -
