  • <p>The Pioneer Open Air Theatre World Premiere of the Movie - “A Town like Alice” - Photo courtesy of Cal Whalan - GREG LYNCH SAYS - A major highlight for the Kenna family was the world premiere of the movie “A Town like Alice” held on 24th July 1956, with the the stars of the film Peter Finch and Virgina McKenna attending in person. The occasion was also used to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Locals arrived in casual dress, carrying thick rugs and cushions for the open-air screening. The theatre was decorated with bunting and palm leaves for the night. Peter Finch invited Beryl Oliver, the air hostess on his flight, to be his guest on the night. The two sat together, smoking throughout the screening. Nevil Shute and his wife also attended, as did future Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. - Acknowledgement Woman’s Weekly…<script type="text/javascript">

              <p>A black-and-white advertisement for silent film A Daughter of the Gods (Herbert Brenon, USA, 1916).</p>
            
              <p>The three-hour epic featuring Annette Kellerman screened at the St George’s Theatre in Yarraville. Though publicity stills and documents like this one have survived, the film is now considered lost.</p>
            
              <p>The ad lists Kellerman’s physical measurements, comparing them with (what must be the estimated measurements) of Cleopatra and Venus. Kellerman was lauded as ‘the perfectly formed woman’ in 1912 and this label followed her for the rest of her life - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript">
