George (Proto)Psaltis, (Barraba) - recounts lives of 1930's Bingara identities: George Psaltis, Emanuel Aroney, & Peter Feros.

As indicated by a previous entry (7 entries prior - question mark) there is little knowledge of, and lack of photographs for George Psaltis, Emanuel Aroney, & Peter Feros.
These men were prominent local businessmen in Bingara, in NSW, during the 1930's, and were involved with the Roxy Theatre in Bingara.

I decided to approach George (Proto)Psaltis, originally of Barraba, and subsequently of Mosman, to see whether he had any knowledge of the men, which may lead their descendants ...

The emotional argument that retaining the former Junee Athenium would be at the expense of gaining a new medical facility is unforgivable. Both facilities are important to the town and one should not be at the expense of the other.

Explanation of the Methodology behind research into Chapter 2 of KEVIN CORK's Ph.D thesis. Also an explanation of his motivation for undertaking the research.

Kevin Cork.



During the 1990's KEVIN CORK undertook extensive research into cinema's in Australia.

Tragically, he died before completing his work, but most of the chapters of his Ph.D Thesis, were completed.

His wife and children have kindly given permission for his work to be reproduced.

Most Australian's would be unaware of the degree to which Greeks, and particularly Kytherian Greeks dominated cinema ownership ...

Julie Lee (nee, Cork). Daughter, Kevin Cork.

As mentioned elsewhere,

Julie Lee, (nee, Cork), Kevin's daughter, provided me with the Ph.D in electronic format, and painstakingly searched for the photographs referred to in Chapter 7; and found, collated, and supplied them to me in electronic format. [See entry under Julie Lee.]

Every time-consuming request I made of her, re Kevin's work - she responded quickly and diligently too. This makes the job of a "collator" of Kytherian heritage, so much easier.

Merle Cork. A partner in preserving the Kytherian heritage.

Research is a very thankless task. It costs money; rather than makes money. (Which undoubtedly explains why Kytherians are not very enamoured of it.)

Families make great sacrifices to help researchers realise their vision, and achieve their ends.

Merle Cork, wife of Kevin, whose Ph.D thesis - which is ostensibly about Kytherian Cinema owners and operators - is one such family member whose sacrifices have been considerable.

Upon Kevin's untimely demise, ...

Roxy Theatre Bingara - Photographs of the original Kytherian owners of the cinema.

One of Kevin Cork's laments in Chapter 7, Picture Gallery, of his Ph.D thesis - is that he could not find photographs of:

ARONEY, Emanuel (c1890 - 1972);

FEROS, Panayiotis (c1890 - 19.12.1954);

PSALTIS, Georgeos (c1900 - c1970s)


"Unfortunately, it has not been possible to find any photographs of the three men".

[The same seems to apply to:

BLYOS (Chlentzos), Constantine (20.2.1895 - 5.5.1971]

Photo 4 - View of vestibule, showing it fitted-out as a restaurant. Much of the original decoration remains, although the chandelier (definitely not a 1936 original) leaves much to be desired. The current paint scheme (green walls, russet cornice and central ventilation grille, deep cream ceiling) does little to enhance the 1930s feel that emanates from this area.

This is a photograph of the Roxy Theatre, taken in 1996, during Kevin Cork's research. At this time Kevin was agitating for the restoration of the building.
As regular users of kythera-family will know - by 2004, the Roxy had been fully restored. Photographs of the magnificent restoration can be vieed at kythera-family, in this section.

Roxy Theatre and shops, corner Maitland and Cunningham Streets, Bingara.

This is the set of buildings that was commenced in 1934 and completed in 1936 when the Roxy Theatre opened. It was an adventurous project that bankrupted the three partners. It is an excellent example of integration in which the Greek developers utilised several styles of building to add interest to the streetscape. The shop at left is reminiscent of the Revivalist style ...

The East Moree Cafe and Theatre c1937.

Above the cafe's awning is a sign in raised cement letters "Andronicos Buildings", such was the pride in having achieved something worthwhile such as one's own cafe.

The theatre building was erected over the open air Danceland in 1936 by Nicholas Andronicos. Between the cafe and the theatre was the entrance to the "New Garden Theatre", built in 1936 and opening on 24 October of that year.
