More theatres were to follow, such as Cinema City and the Cine Centre. Hoyts also ran a number of small cinemas known as Hoyts Cinemas 1, 2 and 3.
Sadly, none of these venues, except His Majesty's (a live theatre), are operating today, with very little left to show that they existed.
This video covers the early venues used to show silent movies in Perth.
The switchover from silent to sound in the American film industry, which began in late 1927, was primarily complete by 1929 (though even in that year silent pictures continued to be produced, though at a heavily reduced rate).
In all, the silent film era lasted from 1895 to 1936. With Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times being made in 1936.
Sadly, a September 2013 report by the United States Library of Congress announced that a total of 70% of American silent feature films are believed to be completely lost.

Perth Entertainment Centre
The Perth Entertainment Centre (originally the Channel 7 Edgley Entertainment Centre) is Western Australia's largest, but now disused 8,200-seat indoor arena, which was opened on December 27, 1974, and played host to many theatrical productions, circuses, corporate functions and the 1979 Miss Universe beauty quest. It was also the home to the Perth Wildcats basketball team from 1991 until 2001, however hasn't been in use since 2002.
The complex was forecast to cost $5 million, but its construction coincided with a period of economic decline, a price-wage spiral and intense industrial action, which led to a cost blow-out. Its construction being two years late and four million dollars over budget, which nearly sent TVW Channel 7 broke.
The Court Liberal State government bailed the station out, by taking ownership and renaming it the Perth Entertainment Centre. The venue is currently owned by the Seven Network.

Perth /pɜrθ/ is the capital and largest city of the Australian state of Western Australia. It is the fourth most populous city in Australia, with an estimated population of 1.9 million living in Greater Perth.[8] Part of the South West Land Division of Western Australia, the majority of the metropolitan area of Perth is located on the Swan Coastal Plain, a narrow strip between the Indian Ocean and the Darling Scarp, a low coastal escarpment. The first areas settled were on the Swan River, with the city's central business district and port (Fremantle) both located on its shores. Perth's metropolitan area is formally divided into a number of local government areas, which themselves consist of a large number of suburbs, extending from Two Rocks in the north to Rockingham in the south, and east inland to The Lakes.
Perth was originally founded by Captain James Stirling in 1829 as the administrative centre of the Swan River Colony, and gained city status in 1856 (currently vested in the smaller City of Perth). The city is named for Perth, Scotland, by influence of Sir George Murray, then British Secretary of State for War and the Colonies. The city's population increased substantially as a result of the Western Australian gold rushes in the late 19th century, largely as a result of emigration from the eastern colonies of Australia. During Australia's involvement in World War II, Fremantle served as a base for submarines operating in the Pacific Theatre. An influx of immigrants following the conclusion of the war was followed by a surge in economic activity as a result of several mining booms in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, with Perth becoming the regional headquarters for a number of mining operations located around the state.
As part of Perth's role as the capital of Western Australia, the state's Parliament and Supreme Court are located within the city, as well as Government House, the residence of the Governor of Western Australia. Perth became known worldwide as the City of Light when city residents lit their house lights and streetlights as American astronaut John Glenn passed overhead while orbiting the earth on Friendship 7 in 1962.[9][10] The city repeated the act as Glenn passed overhead on the Space Shuttle in 1998.[11][12] Perth came 9th in the Economist Intelligence Unit's August 2012 list of the world's most liveable cities,[13] and was classified by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network in 2010 as a world city.[14]
Perth Cultural Centre is both an area of central Perth and the collective name for the main buildings of the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Western Australian Museum, Alexander Library, State Records Office and Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA). In addition to the Perth Cultural Centre a number of other venues within the city exist including the State Theatre - home to the Black Swan State Theatre Company in Northbrige, His Majesty's Theatre, Perth in the City and the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre on the foreshore.
The Perth International Arts Festival is a cultural festival that has been held annually since 1953, and has since been expanded to include the Winter Arts festival. In recent years this has been developed further to include the Perth Fringe Festival, which runs throughout the city in the lead up to the Perth International Arts Festival.
Kings Park, located in central Perth between the CBD and the University of Western Australia, is the largest inner-city park in the world,[80] at 4.06 square kilometres.
Perth Zoo, located in South Perth, houses a variety of Australian and exotic animals from around the globe. The zoo is home to highly successful breeding programs for orangutans and giraffes, and participates in captive breeding and reintroduction efforts for a number of Western Australian species, including the numbat, the dibbler, the chuditch, and the western swamp tortoise.[81]

47 Below - Perth Premier and Live Event with Geoff Wilson
Don’t miss this opportunity to watch this epic story of courage and meet the man himself, Geoff Wilson, on the evening. July 7th 2016, 6.30 pm for 7.30pm start at the Heath Ledger Theatre (State Theatre Centre of WA). Tickets to be booked from:
(Tickets are $25 each or discounted for groups of six or more – proceeds going towards The McGrath Foundation)
About 47 BELOW: Inspired by a close friend’s fight with breast cancer, Australian doctor Geoff Wilson embarked on an epic “Pink Polar” quest, captured in the powerful documentary 47 Below. Equipped with a pink “boobsled”, Geoff set out alone to traverse 3400 kilometres of the coldest, most brutal landscape in the world.
This story of what promised to be his most difficult adventure yet forced Geoff to battle self-doubt, blizzards and extreme cold. There was no guarantee he would survive the ordeal, or even emerge with all his fingers and toes intact. Yet driving him was a promise to a friend … as well as the possibility of setting a world record. 47 Below captures one man’s determination against the elements, as well as showcases the stark beauty on Antarctica itself.
Don't miss this inspiring event!
