Hello,

My frontal exterior pic of the ASTRA Theatre THORNLEIGH – taken in the sixties/seventies – was published with my permission, in KINO, the magazine of the Australian Cinema and Theatre Society during 2013 – page 6 of the SPRING, 2013 publication, Issue Number 125.

The original is an Ektachrome 127 color transparency cardboard mounted slide.

Cheers,

Eric GLASBY ()

Good on you (PAUL BRENNAN) a dear friend and a devoted Cinema and theatre buildings officiado.

I attened the WINTERGARDEN regularly in the latter Fifties/early Sixties and helped to clean after the Saturday Matinees from 1957 thru 1959.

A beautiful site which always presented Double Bill programs which ran from Saturday to Friday which apart from consisting of First Class films, also gave great value.

Truly, one of the most tragic losses the responsible Sydney business and other reps. should forever be ashamed of.
