Lorne Theatre
<div class="theater">
<div class="body">
<p>Located in the beach resort of Lorne, to the southwest of Melbourne. The two-storey Lorne Cinema with its rendered concrete Art Deco style facade, which opened in 1937, is the only cinema in Surf Coast Shire still showing films According to a recent study of Art Deco style cinemas in Victoria, the Lorne Cinema in one of the relatively few such cinemas built in Victoria, and one of the few that have survived.</p>
<p>The Lorne Theatre has long entertained locals and visitors along the Great Ocean Road. An Art Deco style theatre in the Streamline Moderne style, its symmetrical facade, parapet, and iconic vertical sign open-up to Terrazzo floors, geometric ceiling panels, metal balustrading, lush carpets, and an impressive 670-seat auditorium with a mezzanine. The curtain over the screen were originally operated by a pully system of 100-metres of rope running from the stage to the projection room. Almost 87 years later the Lorne Theatre embraces the adage of ‘the good old days are now’.</p>
<p>The Lorne Picture Theatre Company was established as early as 1915. The partners were Albert Jarratt, photographer; J.T. Anderson, president of the Lorne Progress Association; Jack Stirling, a prominent Lorne resident and Jim & Bill Dormann, well-known local butchers.</p>
<p>According to Jarratt family records, the site on Marine (now Mountjoy) Parade on which the cinema stands, was bought from Jim Dorman. Albert Jarratt supervised the making of the cement blocks on the vacant land in preparation for the construction of a new theatre which was designed by Charlie Frase and built by Mr. Owen. Lyn Jarratt, Albert’s son, helped to make up the new sound system.</p>
<p>Opening night in 1937 was a grand occasion in Lorne, despite some problems with the lighting and the sound system which was due to some fault in their manufacture. To make matters worse, one of the projectors began to seize up not long after the interval. Lyn later told how he could remember standing by and squirting oil into the seizing projector for the remainder of the show.</p>
<p>The late-1930’s were important years for the resort town of Lorne with increasing numbers of tourists flocking there in the summer season after the completion of the Great Ocean Road. The Chalet and the Cumberland opened during the same era as the new Lorne Cinema. Lorne was now a major holiday destination.</p>
<p>The events that led to the opening of the cinema are told in the history of the Jarratt family, pioneer photographers and cinema proprietors. This history compiled by Lyn Jarratt between 1996 and 1991 is held by the Lorne Historical Society.</p>
<p>Albert Jarratt (1886-1962) was born in Ruby near Leongatha in Gippsland. He was the youngest of a large family on 11 boys and 2 girls. The Jarratt’s ran a butcher’s shop and farm, some of the older boys working in the timber industry. Albert went to Ruby State School but had to leave at an early age to help at home. However, the local schoolmaster, Mr Mead, took an interest in the boy and taught him about electricity and photography.</p>
<p>Albert became a competent photographer and found employment with a postcard publishing company in Melbourne. As a result, he traveled to beauty spots all over Victoria, much of it by foot. In 1908, he was sent to Lorne and like it so much, he gave up his job and decided to stay there.</p>
<p>In 1910, Albert set up a photography business at Lorne. He sold photographs of Lorne and group photographs of visitors to various beauty spots, such as Erskine Falls and the Phantom Falls. Many Jarratt photographs have survived, including a number of natural portraits made during the construction of the Great Ocean Road.</p>
<p>After Jarratt installed an electric light plant for his business (most probably the first in Lorne), Winchelsea Shire Council commissioned him to install streetlights throughout the town. He brought a large oil engine and generator, and a set of batteries, and ran wires from the bridge to the Pacific Hotel with poles carrying streetlights. This early electric supply later went to the Erskine House, Carinya, and many guest houses and private homes. Eventually the Shire and, later the S.E.C, took over the supply of electricity to Lorne township.</p>
<p>In 1915 Albert married Mary Ethel Seymour in All Saints Church with a reception at Carinya. During the same year, a travelling picture show came to Lorne. The owner was in financial trouble and offered his equipment for sale. Following its formation, the Lorne Picture Theatre Company bought him out. They built a first picture theatre on a large block of land on the Lorne foreshore, part of the Mounjoy Erskine House property. Opening night was late-1916. This theatre showed silent films supplied at first by Jack McFarland, a friend of Jack Anderson, who owned the Yarraville Picture Theatre and later the Regent Theatre, Ballarat.</p>
<p>Albert was the projectionist, and the original projector was a French ‘Pathe, which was hand operated. Light was provided by carbon arc. The audience sat on forms and a pianola provided the music. This theatre proved to be so popular, particularly during the holiday seasons, that it was decided to build a larger one alongside. It was twice as large and had a dress circle and more comfortable seating. The old building became a dance hall known as “The Beach Hall”. By the end of the 1920’s, the new picture theatre began to show 'talking’ pictures.</p>
<p>The Age Newspaper reported during December 1933 that the Lorne Picture Theatre Company had erected a roller-skating rink as a special attraction in an effort to attract more customers. This was common in Australian theatres during that period as an extra means to combat the Depression that was sweeping the world.</p>
<p>Four years later it was decided to build the present Lorne Cinema in Mountjoy Parade, but on the south side of Grove Road. It is shown on the 1938 Winchelsea Shire Engineer’s Plan of Lorne Township in Mountjoy Parade next to the San Toy Cafe.</p>
<p>Albert Jarratt, whose son Lyn was born in 1916, continued to run his photography business, which over the years also sold wool, fancy goods, china and glassware, schoolbooks, pens & pencils, and souvenirs. In 1932, a dwelling had been built at the rear of the shop and this became the Jarratt family home.</p>
<p>Toward the end of his life, Albert began to suffer from dermatitis caused by the photographic chemicals and handed over the film processing and the running of the theatre to his son Lyn. Albert’s wife died on 19th June 1959 and he died on 1st August 1962. Lyn and his wife ran the family business and the theatre until December 1981. During the final month the Lorne Theatre hosted the World Premiere of “Dead Man’s Float” (aka “Smugglers Cove). This brought many celebrated stars to Lorne including Sally Boyden, Gus Mecurio & Marcel Cugola. That same year the Jarratt’s moved to Canberra and a well-deserved retirement. Lyn Jarratt was a much-loved gentle man whose family was regarded as significant pioneers of Lorne and its surrounding areas. The Jarratt era had finally come to an end.</p>
<p>Change came when Ken Todd, who has been involved with the movie industry for more than 50-years, and his wife, Nanette, bought the Lorne Cinema in 1981. “The Picture Palace on the Coast”, as it is called by Todd and his manager, industry stalwart Alby Petherick. The old cinema shows a range of films from Hollywood blockbusters to art and foreign language features. Films are shown for 10-months of the year and during the Christmas to Easter season. There are up to 5 sessions a day with as many as three different movies. The Lorn Cinema attracts large numbers of tourists and holidaymakers.</p>
<p>Todd claimed that the Lorne Cinema was “one of the few remaining original single-screen movie houses left in country Victoria. He pointed out that it has never been closed, and since the day it opened, it has only been used as a cinema. The two original projectors are on display in the foyer. The Todds also ran films over the Christmas period at public halls in Anglesea and Apollo Bay.</p>
<p>Another recent change: The team behind Sydney’s beloved Golden Age Cinema & Bar and Melbourne’s Rooftop Cinema, brothers Barrie, Bob & Chris Barton, have taken over the beautiful Art Deco style Lorne Theatre on Victoria’s Surf Coast. Since 1937 the cinema has operated within spitting distance of the beach, screening almost 90 years' worth of films to locals and holiday goers, including the Barton’s, who spent their childhoods holidaying in the seaside town. The now 550-seat cinema reopened on 1st December 2023 for a pop-up summer season that will last until Easter 2024 when it closes once again. This time for an extensive renovation under the watch of Heritage Victoria. The renovation will be highlighting its existing historic features, while updating the seating, lighting, acoustics, snacks & programming. A licensed bar will also be installed. It would seem that the future for the Lorne Theatre is now assured.</p>

Camelot Theater
<div class="theater">
<div class="body">
<p>The 900-seat Circle Theater opened on October 17, 1928 and was designed in the Classical Revival style by renowned Des Moines, IA based architects Wetherell and Harrison. Characteristics of Classical Revival seen in the theater include columns, pilasters, pedimented windows, and use of brick and stone materials. The building is also a rare surviving example of an Atmospheric style theater.</p>
<p>The original owner, Oscar H. Strine, grew up in Boone. He worked in theaters throughout his life and eventually, he started his own corporation, raised capital, and organized the Circle Theater Company of Nevada. Constructed during the Great Depression, the theater served as the main form of entertainment for a largely rural population of Story County Iowa. This theater was one of a small group of theaters built during this time that were designed to facilitate all forms of entertainment.</p>
<p>The Circle Theater featured “The Mighty Wurlitzer Organ” and according to the program printed for opening night, “each organ is built to perfectness for each individual theater - and tuned to that theater in order to obtain the 100 percent perfect tune quality which have, not unjustly, gained the name of ‘The Mighty Wurlitzer’.” The building also boasted of air-conditioning. The fourteen-piece orchestra, which was made up of local talent, entertained each evening of opening week. Vaudeville acts, movies, and newsreels were featured each Friday through Monday. It was the most spectacular, comfortable movie theater in the area.</p>
<p>By 1932, Mr. Strine was bankrupt. The theater was reopened in 1934 by W.P. Grossman. Somewhere in these lean years, the Mighty Wurlitzer was sold, dismantled, and shipped to Germany.</p>
<p>The big attraction at all the theaters in the 1930’s was “Bank Night.” For two or three months, everyone was encouraged to sign up for “Bank Night.” Names were recorded in a ledger and also typed on a ticket. The ledger insured that your name was down only once. Once your ticket was put in a cage, you could not have it removed. The jackpot started at $25 and if not won, $25 would be added each week until there was a winner. As the prize got to be several hundred dollars, patrons filled the theater. Some people would go early and purchase tickets and go home until time for the drawing. At times the theater and lobby would be packed and people stood outside. When the name was read, someone would run outside and make the announcement. Winners only had a short time to reach the stage, but everyone made way for the winner. The owner showed a B movie that didn’t cost much so that one night carried the week. Sometime during the 1940s, “Bank Night” was discontinued. It was deemed illegal to have a game of chance where a purchase was required.</p>
<p>When television was invented in the 1950’s, its arrival dramatically impacted theaters in a negative way because it provided in-home entertainment options. By 1950 the seating capacity had been reduced to 750-seats. In 1969, the theater was sold to R.L. Fridley of Des Moines. He owned many theaters and had seen the Circle Theater when in its prime and considered it a masterpiece.</p>
<p>The Circle Theater underwent an extensive renovation in 1969 to become the Camelot Theater. Bob Fridley took fixtures from several theaters including the Des Moines theater in downtown Des Moines and installed them in the Camelot Theater. The Des Moines Theater had been demolished in May 1969, and was best known for hosting the world premiere of the movie “State Fair.”</p>
<p>During this time the theater was turned into an Atmospheric style theater with the installation of starlight lights in the ceiling. An Atmospheric style theater is designed to evoke a sense of being outdoors for its patrons. The Camelot’s “Atmospheric” architectural elements include balconettes, a balcony, masonry walls, and a domed ceiling incorporating hundreds of pinpoint lights that simulate stars.</p>
<p>Camelot admission was $1.00–much more reasonably priced than Ames and Des Moines. Many patrons came from the surrounding area. Eventually, the Camelot Theater could not compete with the multi-screen Ames theaters. It was with regret that Fridley closed the theater in the spring of 2001.</p>
<p>Robert Fridley generously offered the theater as a gift to any nonprofit organization. In July of 2002, the Nevada Foundation voted unanimously to accept the theater and pass ownership to Rob and Carol Bacon, owners of the funeral homes in Nevada and Maxwell. The Bacons reopened the theater in November 2002. The theater continued to operate as a movie theater until 2006.</p>
<p>There were a couple individual owners between 2006 and 2014 when it was sold to The Talent Factory that ran it as a venue for Vegas-style acts. In January 2022, the building was purchased by the Camelot Theater Foundation, a 501©(3) nonprofit, and preservation efforts began. The Talent Factory was closed on January 1, 2023. The members of the Camelot Theater Foundation feel the same way that R.L Fridley felt in 1969. The Camelot Theater is a masterpiece in scope, design, and purpose. Many residents of Story County and Iowa attended shows and movies at this historical theater, and it holds a nostalgic place in their memories. There are not many hometown theaters still operating in small towns due to larger multi-screen venues in larger cities. Historic theaters have been torn down or replaced, but this theater has been preserved with its glorious Atmospheric ceiling, unique balconettes, and original building facade.</p>
<p>The Camelot Theater Foundation is coordinating the revitalization and renovation of the historic Camelot Theater. The Foundation also organizes a variety of events including classic movies, live music, plays, karaoke and open mic nights, and business and social rentals. The Foundation is actively working to revitalize the Camelot Theater into a multi-purpose venue with flexibility for many functions that can serve diverse audiences.</p>

Everyman Bury St Edmunds
<div class="theater">
<div class="body">
<p>In Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, the arc Shopping Centre is a mixed-use re-development of the former cattle market on the western edge of the town.</p>
<p>It opened in March 2009, and has stand-alone buildings set out in ‘open street-scape’ style. It includes 62 homes and there was 25,000m2 of retail space. One of these was a 7,500m2 Debenhams store, housed in an eye-catching ‘double-curved’ building clad with sand-cast aluminium panels, which are intended to reduce the building’s perceived height and bulk.</p>
<p>The Debenhams store closed in May 2021, when the chain went into liquidation. The building was converted into dual use, with retailer Primark opening in the upper floors in March 2024, while an Everyman cinema opened on the ground floor.</p>
<p>That opened on Wednesday 14th February 2024. In a ‘soft’ opening, free tickets were on offer for opening day screenings of musical biopic “Bob Marley: One Love” (Screen 2) and family drama “10 Things I Hate About You” (Screen 3) and also for children’s favourites “Migration” (Screen 1) and “Wonka” (Screen 2) and the 1985 sci-fi adventure comedy “Back to the Future” (Screen 3) the following day. (There were only single screenings for these films. Not surprisingly, they were all ‘sold’ out!)</p>
<p>Films from Friday 16th February were espionage drama “Argylle”, children’s favourites “Migration” and “Wonka”, wrestling biopic “The Iron Claw”, musical biopic “Bob Marley: One Love”, romantic drama “All of Us Strangers”, comedy drama “The Holdovers” and historical drama “One Life”.</p>
<p>Seating capacities are: Screen 1:94, Screen 2:74 and Screen 3:60. All have NEC laser projection, Dolby digital 7.1 sound, satellite and live show capabilities.</p>
<p>There is also, of course, the usual extensive bar/restaurant offering.</p>
