Williamgee commented about Hoyts Esquire Theatre on Nov 12, 2016 at 2:59 pm

In my younger days the Esquire theatre along with the Lyceum theatre across the street were somewhat seedy. When it was upgraded it was a great theatre with a 70 mm screen and opened with “Around the World in 80 Days. The one that lasted 3 years at the Esquire was "South Pacific”. When it finally closed some patrons said they had seen it 60 times. It was then followed by “West Side Story” that I had waited for impatiently. The Lyceum was refurbished for the presentation of “Cleopatra” which was not as bad as everyone had been led to believe.
