Wondergraph

Early 20th C Australian cinema chain

Wondergraph, Wondergraph Theatre and variations were names given first to a technology, and then to picture theatres run first by the Continental Wondergraph Company (represented by two German men who arrived in Perth, Western Australia, in 1910); and then, in Adelaide, South Australia, by the Wondergraph Company (1910–1911), and then the Greater Wondergraph Company, established around 1911 and in existence until 1939. The Continental Wondergraph Company was registered in Perth in early 1910, and later that year set up an open-air cinema in Semaphore.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
