The vintage picture in the header is nice.

Very sad scenario to a once beautiful art deco movie house in Australia whose architect was Thomas Lamb!!! The beginning of the end was when “In 1954, CinemaScope was installed and the original proscenium was widened.”

I think I had visited the lobby of this cinema during my trip to Adelaide in May 1998 .

This theatre complex was still intact…and not demolished late 2004.
