The first continuing screenings in North Perth were at the Rosemount Gardens, opened on a site in Angove St, next to the Rosemount Hotel in 1920. In 1924, a theatre was built on the opposite side of the road to operate in conjunction with the gardens. In 1928, the theatre closed for three months for extensive renovations, and in November 1929 Australtone sound equipment was installed. "In the early forties the venues were operated by Carl During and (H.? or A.T.?) Parker, who also ran the Ritz at Mount Hawthorn. Then, in 1949, they were taken over by Goldfields Pictures. The gardens site was leased from the hotel, so, when they took it back to extend the bar, that was the end of the first Rosemount gardens. Goldfields built a new gardens further down Fitzgerald St, towards Perth, perhaps on the north-west corner of the intersection with Alma Rd." (Bertrand 2001) References |
