Tuart Hill picture gardens

Just back from the corner of Lawley Street and Wanneroo Road, an outdoor Gardens theatre was constructed alongside Tuart Hill Primary School and opened on November 10, 1950, and the two movies screened that night were “Melody Time” a Disney production and “Rachel and the stranger” starring Robert Mitchum and Loretta Young. The Menora Gardens in Walcott St and the Tuart Hill Gardens were both owned by the Machlin Brothers and generally the same movies would be screened at both venues on the same nights. The picture gardens operated for just over 10 years before it gave way to retail developments.

Possibly closed late 1961, as the Menora did, which as mentioned was also owned by the Machlin brothers.
