The day after the opening of the Savoy, this newspaper clipping describes the event with a quote from Monsieur F. Puaux, the Vice Consul for France. He said that it was "excellent that the Australian public should have an opportunity to see foreign films in the original language." The first film to be screened the French comedy "La Kermesse Heroique" (The Heroic Sex) and the writer moves on to a description of the interior of the venue and the attire of the hostess. This writing is essential in terms of visualising the experience of attending a screening at the Savoy Theatre. The overall solour scheme favours warm colours with a rust coloured carpet with a beige design across its length, while the velvet curtains wear the same rusty tint. The hostesses wear silver halos in their hair hair and olive-green velvet skirts and bodices. |
