This article titled âNotable films in New City Releases draws attention to the new Charlie Chaplin film showing. Underneath this is a sub section that was run weekly in the Argus; the âIndependent Theatresâ section; with the Camden being one of the few independent cinemaâs to be mentioned to be showing a notable film. The Camden features very regularly in this section as it was a predominant part of Caulfield and the surrounding suburbs cultures. It played a variety of films over itâs operating years; with each one being highlighted in the Argus during the week. This week film to be shown at the Camden was a comedy called âDesign for livingâ.
A particular piece of historical evidence that can be taken from this articleâs wording specifically is found in the phrase ââIndian Nationâ is bracketed with this picture at the Camden, Caulfieldâ. This tells us although the cinema at Camden only had one screen, it would show two films per session or night that it was open, one after the other; perhaps where the phrase âa night at the moviesâ came from. A deeper look into other weekly run articles from the âIndependent Cinemaâsâ section of the Argus confirms this; as films are quite often âbracketedâ or âsupported byâ another film. (CathS)
