Cinema, Kings Park. THE GODFATHER
(R18+)
175 mins Francis Ford Coppola’s epic
masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar winning role as the patriarch
of the Corleone family. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the
Sicilian clan's rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully
balancing the story between the Corleone's family life and the ugly crime
business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel
and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert
Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award nominations,
and won three including Best Picture and Best Actor of 1972. FRIDAY 12th

wonderful world of show business is celebrated with a dazzling display of
posters, photographs, paintings, designs, letters, costumes—and an historic
collection of silk programmes. Museum of Performing Arts DownStairs at the
Maj NEW EXHIBITION FOR
2010: Lights up on a fabulous array of facts and artifacts from the
wonderful world of show business. Image: The Girl
Behind the Counter, Perth Operatic and choral Society, His Majesty’s Theatre
1921 We invite you to wile away the
best part of an hour - and it will be the best - Surrounded by fascinating
artifacts taken from the overflowing shelves in our backstage storerooms. Take a
look at silk programmes from Dame Nellie Melba’s gala performances at Covent
Garden, see our very own collection of Beatles photos, view 19th
Century costume designs, study the painted portraits of Neville Teede and
Dame Maggie Smith, read a note from Richard Brinsley Sheridan (entangled in
Vivien Leigh’s feather boa), inspect movie posters not sighted since 1933 and
peruse a collection of marionettes from Nutshell Puppet Theatre in 1973. And when
you’ve done all that feast your eyes on the glamorous outfit Janet Holmes à
Court wore to the New York opening of Miss Saigon. Just this
once we’re ignoring that old showbiz adage, “always leave them wanting more”,
because with SHOW STOPPERS, you’ll get more than you bargained
for. The Westend Festival The
Westend Festival has been designed to promote the business community, social
and cultural activities in the precinct bounded by William and Thomas Street
and Kings Park and the railway line. Drawing on the increased vibrancy of the
west end of the city, we have created a Festival that celebrates the west end
as a great place to work, live and play. It’s our need to demonstrate this to
a wider section of the community. The
“west end” is synonymous with style, shopping, cosmopolitan living and the
arts in cities such as London and New York. We are fortunate to have the
early foundations of a similar formula here in Perth; King Street fashion
district, His Majesty’s Theatre, trendy restaurants and bars, art galleries,
dance studios, hotels, book stores, architectural firms, heritage buildings,
inner city apartments, a convention centre and corporate offices. The popularity and success of the
2009 Westend Festival demonstrates the attractiveness and vibrancy of this
precinct to the Perth community, the Festival has been growing steadily since
the Festival began in 2004. I encourage the community to visit the west end
and take enjoyment of this years Festival in 2010. Westend Festival Chairman Rocco Macri ___________________________________________________ © 2010 www.westendfestival.com.au Powered by
