This text is intended for the public of Victoria. It is a public record that shares what happened on January 30th 1952, when Constable George Howell was murdered at the Crystal Palace Theatre. This event adds to the history of the Crystal Palace Theatre, and it could be argued is what the cinema is most remembered for.
This text is important as it contributes to the history of the Crystal Palace Theatre, and this event could have changed how people saw the venue or deterred people from going there after the murder occurred, which may have contributed to the close of the theatre. It also mentions car thefts being a regular occurrence; supporting the idea the area was not safe, consequently resulting in less people seeing movies in the area.
This text only shares a limited amount of information about the Crystal Palace Theatre and is not very detailed, as it is only a short remembrance of the event.
This information could be argued as bias, as it is to show respect and honor for the man who was killed. However the text would have been put together by the findings of evidence, which would have been presented in court, therefore making it a reliable and accurate source.
