The Padua Theatre
Located in Brunswick, the Padua was a beautiful, art deco style theatre. It was built and operated by Hoyts during the golden era of cinema. It was opened to much fanfare on 24th July 1937, screening an Errol Flynn movie, the Charge of the Light Brigade.
It featured a Hammond electric organ and bandstand which were on a revolving stage. When the stage moved, it revealed the screen. Stage shows also featured as part of the film programme.
The Padua was also a paragon of modernity, complete with a streamlined egg shaped ticket office, footwarmers, valet parking and even a crying room for babies.
As with all the cinemas of this era, the Padua suffered when TV came along, so much so that it was closed by Hoyts in June 1968. The property was sold, and leased to Tony and Franco Zeccola. Its superb Art Deco interior was gutted, and they reopened it in August 1969 as the Metropolitan, screening Italian films. It continued to operate until December 1981.
The building then sat vacant. It fell into disrepair and was vandalised. Sadly, it was demolished in February 1982. Non-descript shops, were built on the site, replacing the imposing Streamline Moderne edifice that was the Padua.

    People were well dressed, far more dignified. When i was a kid in the 70s my Mum would take me in on the train from Auburn Station and we'd come out Flinders Street via the Degrave Street subway. There was always a man in a wheelchair selling the Sun or the Herald. From there, it was three arcades two Burke street Myers. . These days one of them is gone. I loved that walk. Lunch was at the Coles Cafeteria or Myers, but Coles was famous with the ladies in yellow uniforms and tiaras. Australia was a much more cohesive society then. Thats the nicest way i can put it.

    I was 6 and my Nana would take us to Meyers, where we had meat pie and chips in the cafeteria. Then run amock outta control. Toys were a great pacifier. Then, on Saturday, avo Carlton with Uncle Joe and Nana, but Barrassi was our favourite player. When he came to Carlton in 67, my uncle cried, "There is a God." Oh, I lived in Jacana then.
