In 2018, AMMPT Western Region ( now known as Pictures in Motion) was donated an extraordinary large collection of books and photos relating to early Picture Theatres, Movies andActors. These books and photos were part of a large lifetime collection of many items of founding City of South Perth Historical Society member, Mrs. Lynn Giblett. Lynn’s family kindly offered the entire collection to SPHS with the proviso that items not pertinent to the SPHS collection guidelines could be offered to other associations. Lynn was very proud of her collection and told many wonderful stories of her time working at the Metro Theatre in William Street. Lynn’s daughter Kelly has visited the collection at the AMMPT (Western Region) library. We thank the family and SPHS for the collection.
The photos are stills from the publicity displays held at the Metro Theatre and PIM acknowledges the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Picture Production and our donor.
Not all the photos are labelled and we would like to catalogue them with the film brochures and books that we have.
Please if you recognise one that is not labelled please send details to info@picturesinmotion.com.au
We will rotate the photos.
Thank you
