The cost of the renovations blew out and Mr. Freeman was able to purchase the business with his wife, and
gradually over recent years has created a bigger foyer, installed comfortable seating,reinstated the indirect
lighting around the proscenium, added the auditorium drapes, installed a state of the art sound system,and as
recently as april1993 installed a new screen.

Prior to building the existing foyer, the then tiny foyer was on one wet winters night to provide the opening scenes
for the then TV series "Skirts", with production crew, actors, extras, and Theatre patrons mixed in for what
seemed like hours of production. The result, all of about 25 seconds of the Carlton Moviehouse foyer screened
on TV.

The members of The Cinema and Theatre Historical Society of Victoria are grateful to Mr & Mrs Freeman for
allowing us meet in The Carlton Moviehouse for our regular meetings, providing us with the ieieal atmosphere
to meet and discuss Cinemas and Theatres past and present, and related topics, and providing us with the
facilities to screen 35mm, and 16mm films, and slides at our meetings.

The Theatre seats a comfortable 260 patrons today compared with 499 seats in 1954-55. The Carlton
Moviehouse is now classified by the National Trust.

PROJECTS by All Members

What is "Projects"? "What does this mean?", I hear you say. And who is this fellow called All Members?

Projects is a bit like a "can you help me" or "can I help you" column.

Please let the editor know if you have a project you would like some help with, or need some material for, and
we will publish your needs.

As this is the first edition, the editor may as well get in for a free commercial here .

This newsletter, "CINEMARECORD" is a good example of a community project, and we need plenty of articles
written by our own members, or friends of members "who can remember".

Don't worry about writing skills. None of us are great journalists.
It's easy. Just put it down on paper, and we will sort it out. If you don't have any photos, or don't want to use your
own, we will try our best to find some to complement your article. (Note: .BJact_&.wbite photos copy better.)

General articles (~.g. "Cinemas of XXXX") provide a good outline, listing cinemas in a city, or an area.

This type of article can be a good start, prompting someone to do in depth articles on a particular theatre.

fLEASE NOTE
One thing you could do for your stubby fingered (what film did that come out of Roy?) editor, is to get
your article typed up by a wife, husband, child, grandchild, friend, or anyone who can put it on a disk,
using some type ofwordprocessor. Just let us know the type ofwordprocessor(e.g. WordPerfect, Word,
Wordstar, Multimate, Anything) it was stored on, and we will be in business folks. Saves typing it twice
you know Neddy, and I promise you will get your floppy disk back.
