            Profiles of two of our active members have appeared in recent publications. Ken Tulloch's story is in the July
            issue of VOX, the TOSA magazine.

            Denzil Howson was in the Herald-Sun on the 9th of April, under the heading of 'Whatever Happened To". Denzil
            was also spotted by your editor ir:gmother short film, "Abide In Me", Channel 2 on August 13th. Denzil had more
            lines to learn for this film than "Taxi Driver Of The Year", but they were more than somewhat less colourful.

            David Kilderry spoke for nearly an  hour on. radio 3RRR, mostly about CATHS-V, and managed to get their
            switchboard jammed with callers wanting to know more about our Society. As a result we had quite a few people
            sending in for the CATHS-V Cinema Index and asking for details on joining. Well done all.

            A large number of members attended our annuai"Swap Meet" on Sunday July the 27th. A good assortment of
            books, films and equipment were on offer and was enthusiastically received.



            After morning coffee an hilarious Laurel and Hardy two-reel comedy, and a very professionally made video of
            the National Theatre Richmond prior to renovations, courtesy of Rod Cok and Rod How respectively, we came
            to the end of our morning at the Carlton Moviehouse.


            Thirty-six members and friends then proceeded to the Lithuanian Community Centre, located at 44 Errol Street,
            North Melbourne. This complex  includes the former Central/Ritz/Cairo C inema which  is  now used for
            meeting~ and concerts. Indeed, a concert of folk-dances was in rehearsal during our visit.


            The Central was opened around  1950 by mr.  Bill Howard, who controlled the Regal, Essendon, and the Es-

            quire, now the Classic, Elsternwick. The Central replaced screenings at the North Melbourne Town Hall.


            The original  seating was around  450,  ~md an  apron-stage has been  extended  into  part of the front stalls.
            Although the projectors and screen have been removed, the auditorium containing stalls and a dress circle, and
            the extensive foyers, remain largely intact and neatly maintained.


            After inspecting this large building, which also includes meeting rooms and a licenced bar, we adjourned to the

            function room for an enjoyable luncheon to complete a busy social occcasion.
