The cinema operated under the name Hoyts Marryatville Ozone during the period of Hoyts operation. Wallis Theatres renamed it the Chelsea Cinema in 1971 when it took over the management. The name was suggested by Wallis employee Bob Parr,(after the fashionable London suburb of Chelsea), who became the Chelsea Cinema manager for the next 40 years along with his other roles with Wallis Theatres notably cinema programming. Bob Parr OAM died last week (March 31st 2022) sadly after a lifetime of service to the cinema industry and wider community. Vale Bob, you too were a cinema treasure!

My late Dad was the projectionist in the 1950s and 1960s. I went to the primary school opposite as a small child and often would join my Dad after school, as he oprepared for the evenimng screeings in this Adelaide suburban cinema. The Ozone, later the Chelsea (1971 to 2011) and currently the Regal.
