Comments The article examines the film distribution, film exhibition and some film sound and history.

In providing an example of what a fine-grained and intensely local film history might look like in an Australian context, a study such as this draws both on the long-standing tradition of industrial film histories which have become such an important part of American film history, as well as more recent work on local cinema institutions and local audiences. Studies such as this one are beginning to gain strength as film historians seek alternatives to approaches that put all the cards in the hand of the text, and instead begin to seek out real historic participants in the cinema rather than simply subject positions.
