The Ascot theatre and it’s nearby sister cinema the Marina Theatre built in 1927, both originally built and operated independently screened identical programmes and swapped films at intervals. Vaudeville was commonplace alongside movies with both theatres built for limited backstage/orchestra presentations. In 1939 both theatres became part of the growing independent circuit Snider and Dean. Both remained so until 1960 when the Ascot Theatre was sold and converted to a shopping arcade. The Marina Theatre continued leased then sold in 1966.
