But it’s not from the recent news surge. It’s a Herald Sun article from November 2000. This July a similar, but arguably smaller, police operation targeted a number of apparent “professional” beggars in the city. Police charged seven people with beg alms. It’s alleged those charged were Chinese nationals on tourist visas operating as part of an organised syndicate and are not truly homeless. Continued on page 7.

  • Palais Theatre History
    PALAIS THEATRE HISTORY There have been several theatres named "Palais" in St Kilda, the first of which opened in 1914. At the end of World War I, the Palais de Danse, already on the current site, became Palais Pictures. In 1919, a steel-framed and arched truss structure was built over the old dance-hall which was relocated next door. The current Palais was built in 1927 and was part of a turn-of-the-century entertainment district. The theatre was originally owned by the Phillips brothers (Leon, Herman and Harold), three American showmen from Spokane, Washington. In 1922, the brothers brought in the architect Walter Burley Griffin to design a remodeled Palais Pictures. Construction of Griffin's plans began in 1925, but a fire engulfed the stage in February of the following year, just before completion, bringing work to a halt. When Griffin moved on to Sydney, the developers commissioned a new architect, Henry E. White, to build a larger, more grand theatre. Palais Pictures opened on 11 November 1927 as ‘Australia’s Wonder Theatre’ with the silent movie Seventh Heaven starring Janet Gaynor. For the next 30 or so years a night at Palais Pictures featured an Australian News Reel, Short Film, International News Reel, Variety Performance, Harry Jacobs Orchestra, Feature Film and a pass out as you left for entry to the Palais de Dance next door for a night of dancing. Plus kids movies featured on Saturday afternoons. When the last of the Phillips died in 1957, the Palais, the Palais de Danse and Luna Park were sold to local entrepreneurs in Melbourne.

  • Torn: the Story of a Lithuanian Migrant
    Torn: the story of a Lithuanian migrant By Grazina Pranauskas MA, Faculty of Arts, Deakin University, Geelong. BA (Hons), Faculty of Arts, Deakin University, Geelong. BA, Major Studies in Journalism Studies and Literary Studies, Faculty of Arts, Deakin University, Geelong. BMus. in Choral Conducting, Conservatorium of Music, Vilnius, Lithuania. Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy, College of Arts, Victoria University, Melbourne, 24 November 2014. Abstract This doctorate consists of two parts: a novel Torn and the exegesis: Writing the migrant story: nostalgia, identity and belonging. The novel and theoretical exegesis are intended to complement each other in capturing the 20th century Lithuanian historical and political circumstances that led to Lithuanian emigration to Australia. In my novel and exegesis, my intention has been to explore how the experiences of Lithuanian refugees and migrants differ, especially in relation to nostalgia, identity and belonging, depending on the time and circumstances of their arrival in Australia. Lithuanians came to Australia from the same place geographically, but from a different place in terms of history and politics. My novel is a creative representation of the Lithuanian migrants’ experience in the diaspora. It is set in the 1980s and 90s when the political, socio-economic and cultural environment radically shifted under Mikhail Gorbachev’s policy of perestroika (restructure). Daina, a theatre producer from Soviet Lithuania, comes to Australia to look after her great-uncle, Algis. As a postwar Lithuanian refugee, settled here since the 1940s, Algis has strong views about his Soviet-occupied homeland and its people. He lets Daina know that he hates anything associated with Russia and Russians who, in his opinion, were responsible for killings and deportations of Lithuanians during the war.

  • Palais Theatre Lower Esplanade, (Cnr Cavell Street) St Kilda
    A Place of Sensuous Resort: Buildings of St Kilda and Their People 3 Palais Theatre Lower Esplanade, (cnr Cavell Street) St Kilda There have been four different Palais cinemas in St Kilda, most confusingly, three of them on the Esplanade. The open-air Pictureland opened in 1909 in Alfred Square West and was renamed the Palais from 1914-15. It closed and was demolished in 1916. The open-air Elite Biograph opened in 1912, on the corner of Barkly and Acland Street, and became the Palais from 1915-18. It was demolished in 1921. The St Kilda Lower Esplanade beachfront is Crown Land. In 1906, a Foreshore Committee was formed to reclaim land, landscape the beach and develop baths, piers and amusements. St Kilda Council reclaimed the land and gardens were formed to the design of Carlo Catani. Baxter’s Merry-go-Round was the first amusement tenant on the reclaimed land. The American Phillips Brothers (Herman and Leon), secured the lease for the land on which they erected Luna Park in 1912 (4) and the large timber Palais de Danse (1913). Cooper recalls the patriotism and civic pride of the Phillips Brothers. When ‘fleets of men- o-war came to Melbourne,’ they gave the sailors in uniform ‘free admission to their beach shows ... their presence of the amusement enterprises of the Phillips Brothers on the St Kilda foreshore, has undoubtedly drawn thousands of holiday-makers to St Kilda’.
