4 . Sydney Cinemas in Historic Buildings
The Orpheum
Running since 1935, the Orpheum is of beautiful art design. When it was built, the Orpheum was used as a theatre with a stage and dressing rooms. It could seat 1,735 people. Later, the theatre was turned into a shopping mall. However, in 1986 the theatre was bought by Mike Walsh OBE and turned into a theatre again. Now this six-screen cinema shows old and new films to people. And you can still enjoy live (现场的) music on weekends.
Where: Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace, 380 a Military a Road, Cremorne
The Ritz
This family-owned cinema was built in 1937. At first, the cinema had a number of owners until, in 1993, when the owners planned to pull down the building, the local government ordered people to protect it forever. Since then, another five screens have been added, making the Ritz one of Sydney’s oldest multiscreen cinemas. It’s known for its beautiful architecture (建筑风格) and low ticket prices.
Where: 45 St. Pauls Street, Randwick
Golden Age Cinema and Bar (酒吧)
Golden Age Cinema has been carefully rebuilt. It now includes a wonderful bar that serves wines, beers and cocktails, and serves snacks and food specials to match the cinema program. Also in the building Golden Stage features live music acts. A trip to Golden Age Cinema is a relaxing experience for visitors.

9 . Jake and Max Klein were 4 years old when they first realized there was a world in need outside the front door of their home in Edgewater, New Jersey.
The twin brothers took all of the money out of their piggy banks and asked their parents, Mark Klein and Sandy Rubinstein, if they could buy birthday gifts for kids who weren’t expecting any.
Then, at age 6, the boys announced that they wanted money usually spent on their birthday presents to go to charitable donations. They bought computers for police officers, and they sold cookies to raise money for sick children.
Then they learned at age 8 that they were too young to volunteer at their town’s soup kitchen. “That’s when we decided we’d have to come up with a way to take things into our own hands,” Jake, now 15 says. “We thought, ‘What can we do to show that kids are able to make a difference and do more than is expected?’”
Last year, he and Max, now going into the 10th grade at Leonia High School, started Kids That Do Good, a nonprofit (非营利性的) website that lists hundreds of ways for young people to get involved in charitable work, coast-to-coast.
It’s a lesson that has caught on with many, including 9-year-old Sophia Somerstein, who lives near the Kleins in New Jersey.
“Max and Jake encouraged me to help collect food and I really loved the feeling of making somebody’s life better,” she says. “Now this summer, I want to help people around me, and I hope I can teach other kids, too. It’s cool that kids just like me can do something to help others.”
The Kleins recently started a challenge for kids registered (注册) on their website (about 3,000 so far) to track their volunteer hours, with the goal of topping 100,000 by the end of 2019.
“Someday, we’d love to reach a million hours,” notes Max, who hopes to continue running Kids That Do Good with Jake when they both go off to college.
