  • <h1>Photo 1923 - Miss Hall, an original Staff member who was employed in the position of Ticket Seller. The only woman employed by the theatre at the time.</h1>

              <p>The Amusu Theatre opened in 1922 on the south side of Albany Road (now Albany Highway). The street number was 443 and it was opposite the old police station. The Amusu Gardens opened soon after behind the theatre, running across the block to Temple Street and with access along a laneway beside the theatre. It was larger than the hard-top and had a separate bio-box, and by the thirties was used much more than the Amusu theatre.</p>
            
              <p>It was also used sometimes for roller-skating, boxing events and public meetings. Later, ´Cinema Cabaret’ was introduced, which enabled patrons of the theatre to dance, accompanied by relayed music after the show. Both the theatre and gardens were purchased by Goldfields Pictures in 1946, but never operated as a cinema by them. The site was almost immediately sold to a developer, who demolished the building and built shop.</p>

              <p>The projection room was equipped with Century DAW projectors and Strong xenon lamp houses. In the late 1970’s/early 1980’s, Village updated most of their drive-in projection plants to the American Century brand. The DAW model was manufactured specifically for drive in use. “D” denoting double shutter – more light for drive-in use, “A” being the model designation and “W” being for water cooled projector head for use with large current lamphouses.
