This article is a short matter-of-fact description of the opening of the Ashburton Civic in the Ashburton area. While it doesnât offer much to go on in terms of discussing a clear bias or argument made by the unknown author it does seem to suggest that the author believed that Ashburton was an âup and comerâ. From the authors perspective âThe Civicâ was a proper modern, American styled theater that was only appropriate for such a soon to be important area. While there is little concrete information in this article it does offer its reader a small list of important names involved in its operation and creation. Beyond this it seems to suggest that the owners/operators had some sort of loyalty to Ashburton in England for the owners decided to use their money to âestablish a district fund to send food parcel to Ashburton in Englandâ (Argus) instead of using it to entertain their guests on opening night.
While it is not much this article is one of the only remnants of press coverage that The Civic received and thus it is invaluable to any researching this theater. Before coming upon this article I had little to no information but upon its completion I had a list of names and a few details to lead me in some sort of valuable direction. It is because of this that I would highly recommend this piece to any who are looking for some basic information and possibly just a starting point for their research. (Catie Davis)
