Julie Szego writes in âKeeping it reelâ, that despite rumors regarding the sale of the âAstor Theatreâ (Melbourne), that proprietor George Florence âdoes not plan to walk away from the Astorâ. Rather, according to Szego, George Florence ideally suggests that a new buyer âwould purchase the freeholdâ¦together with the business and ⦠invest freely in bothâ. In addition, as according to Julie Szego, George Florence suggests that âwhoever ends up buying the elegant art deco cinema in St Kilda (might) keep him on as a consultantâ. Julie Szego examines George Florenceâs personal history with regards to the development of the âAstor Theatreâ (Melbourne), and examines George Florenceâs contention that âitâs time for someone as excited as me to take over, someone who can bring new capital, new energy, and take the Astor into a new phaseâ. |
