The North Hobart Picture Palace reveals it deepest darkest secrets!

Do you have any pictures or articles about the State Cinema; or as it was once called, The Liberty Theatre, or the North Hobart Picture Palace? Perhaps you have a story about the theatre that can be written down? Our local historian, Bill, is busy compiling information about the theatre from its opening on Thursday, 2nd of October, 1913, to the present day. He will eventually produce from this a small book, to be released on our centenary in 2013. If you have something to contribute, we would appreciate it if you could please email Bill at: billclyde@y7mail.com
