Piccadilly Theatre and Arcade (1938) 704 Hay St, Perth.                                           Architect: William T. Leighton. This nautical moderne style complex, was the most ambitious project of its day, and one of the finest Art Deco cinemas in Australia. Note the asymmetric architectural massing, the pylon style tower and incised lettering to both frontages to the arcade, speed motifs and relief sculptures feature inside the cinema. Look for the bas relief sporting couple near the Murray St. exit in the arcade.
