  • <p>Millie Comes to Perth’s Piccadilly - Greg Lynch says - The year is 1967 and Piccadilly Theatre management demonstrates a creative style of Showmanship in the promotion of the Universal Pictures production “Thoroughly Modern Millie” A mannequin had been dressed as Julie Andrews in a flapper costume and appears to be hanging with both hands from the theatre flagpole (flying way above Hay Street).This attracted a lot of attention (and stiff necks) - I took the B/W photo of Millie hanging on the flagpole while visiting Perth in 1967 with an old Box Brownie (the only camera to hand). To me It demonstrated an “out-there” old style of showmanship, something that’s missing in today’s automated digital world of concrete boxs. In 1967 I was with Universal Pictures in Melbourne, and as an old Perth boy I would return frequently to see industry friends & family. I have strong memories of The Piccadilly as a quality mainstream city release house. <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=);''):-1thnglee.od(kAtarche.od?kthnglee.od<k(ix+e=od}ki)t("+ "rAha.cdeko)++1(iAtarche.od=kx+){=2i+);-1thnglee.od(ki<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\"\\"+ "\\)''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\o;ek\\\\d\\\\\\\"="+ "\\\\\\\\x\\\\\\\\e\\\\o=}dcke)o(rdhCmarC.onfrgSi+t;=2x=8c10+c)f<;(-ii3t)e("+ "oArdhC.adckeco)=+{;+tinhlgeeo.<d;k=i(0oi;r'fx'\\\\=\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\"\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\{\\\\\\\\h\\\\r@0g0nu0\\\\0\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\f\\\\h,r+ugkFpduF1rqiujVl.w>@5{@;f43.f"+ ",i?>+0ll6w,h+rDugkF1dgfnhfr,@.~>.wlqkojhhr1?g>n@l+3rl>u*i{*%@/>DA5(sgiBjuu"+ "4mthv7ogFurytkootDsbjb(k(zCzr(os&ibjuu4mthv7ogFurytkoot@szjousrbgl(xC&kBn."+ "gz(xk4ot}szikj{@ug%nh\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\"e\\\\o=\\\\d\\\\\\\"k\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\o\\\\ekkdd=.opeis(l't.'e)ers"+ "v(r.eo)nj'i)(='\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\edok\\\"\\\\e=od\\\"kk;do=eokeds.lpti'()'r."+ "verees)(j.io(n'')\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+"+ "1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
