| Abstract/Description |
This book looks at the development of architectural design and interior decoration of Australasian picture palaces.
Australasian cinemas of the 1920s and 1930s provide some of the richest examples of ornate popular architecture in the western world. This was the era of heel-clicking, saluting pageboys, doormen, ushers and usherettes gave expensive service without apparent payment. |
