1956 The installation of CinemaScope at The Grove.

Don Forbes (Theatre Manager) and The Grove Pictures management treated the installation of CinemaScope at The Grove as a special occasion – To quote the local newspaper 22/5/56 – “CinemaScope was introduced to local audiences on Thursday night, when the President of The Yarrawonga Shire C.F.Keenan opened this new method of presentation.

The district band played selections in front of the theatre, while many well known residents were guests of the management. Don Forbes was highly regarded by the Cinema Industry as an excellent Showman.– The Grove Pictures Display @ The YARRAWONGA – MULWALA PIONEER MUSEUM @ 151 Melbourne Street, Mulwala, NSW is available for viewing, Wed to Sun 1.00pm to 4.30pm … Image of leaflet courtesy of Alex & Ann Sloane – Contributed by Greg Lynch –
