100 Years of going to the movies... from
the first open air shows to Melbourne’s
only Art Deco Multiplex cinema!
42 pages with 39 black and white and colour photos and artwork
A comprehensive history of cinemas and cinema-going in the Melbourne
suburb of Camberwell. The rise and fall of the cinema here was like most
suburbs throughout Australia... with one exception... Cinema is still alive in
the magnificent Art Moderne multiplex based on robert McLeish’s second
Rivoli opened in 1940.
Camberwell at the Movies not only follows the fortunes of the “big three”
of Camberwell: Henry Holland’s Camberwell Picture Theatre, Robert
McLeish Theatres and Hoyts Theatres, but it also records the rise and
fall of cinema in Camberwell against the wider background of neighbouring
suburbs: of Hawthorn and Kew, Balwyn and Canterbury.
