Comments By Louise Riddiford.

This article featured in KINO is about the late architect, Aaron Bolot. It provides biographical details about the man stating the various theatres he designed and built in his time, including the Liberty Theatre. This article would interest anyone studying architecture or anyone interested in the history of Australia’s architecture. It is very informative of Bolot’s work and praises him highly unlike some other articles which have referred to his work as ‘old fashioned and dull’ (Thorne, R 1981, p.223). The article is important as it informs the reader of the kind of work Bolot did and how he was highly respected within communities around the country. It does not necessarily add any in-depth information into my research but it is a reliable source and the first article I found regarding my cinema topic. The article is an interesting read and importantly informs us of how highly regarded these people involved in theatre were. End comment.

Synopsis Aaron Bolot (1900-1989) originally lived in Russia before he moved to Australia in 1911. He became an architect after completing a course in Brisbane. He has designed many Australian theatres inlcuding The Melbourne Comedy Theatre, The Brisbane Regent Theatre, The Ritz Theatre in Goulburn and The Liberty Theatre in Melbourne among many others (Todd, L 1989, p.4).
