Hoyts New Malvern Theatre 1 Glenferrie Road, Melbourne, VIC - Hoyts usher lapel pin.

Comment from: - Rodney McGregor, a former usher who worked at the Hoyts theatre Malvern during the final months of its operation..

Quote - Greg I happened across the photos you contributed to Cinema Treasures of the Hoyts New Malvern Theatre in Glenferrie Road Malvern. I was working there in its final months and weeks as a young boy, and chose (when offered) not to make the move to the brand new “Multiplex” at Chadstone.

I have fond memories of working there and lighting the foot-warmer furnace underneath the seats (dodgy and dangerous) I still have my Hoyts lapel pin (pictured) and even some really old Pass Out cards that I found under the staircase at the back of the staff change closet. The front of house manager at that time was a dear lady named Roma.
