It is the Victoria Theater ,Auckland New Zealand and was built by an
American, in 1914. The vieo is part of a crusade by citizens to buy
and restore this historic cinema. It can be viewed and downloaded at

I know this theater and have attended performances there. It's
actually in the little town of Devonport, NZ, a 12 minute ferry ride
across the bay from downtown Auckland. On what they call the North
Shore. The theater has been purchased by the North Shore Council and
is being renovated. It has been remodeled numerous times and is
somewhat unique in that it has three screens - so what? - they are on
three different levels. The middle one is a very small one, sort of
half way up the staircase. Hard to describe. www.thevic.co.nz is
their website - I'm sure if you have an extra dollar or two they are
more than happy to accept donations toward the renovation.

An Inspiration. This film shows how a small group of dedicated people
have added to the cultural assets of their community. They faced
opposition but with considerable effort ,they succeeded. The citizens
will now have more knowledge and pride in their history and a greater
sense of identity.
