I ran the Marina 1982 83 84 as a well programmed and operated movie theatre and sadly had to abandon my lease. As video simply ate our audiences and the maintenance of the building was beyond my income. The Marina in this new century and 2013 decade should be bought by council and refurbished to create a classic cinema complex and performing arts centre. It is a fortress building and worth repairing and retaining to delight future generations. I was a Mascot/Rosebery family child and saw dozens of films there in the 60s. The original vaudeville stage and facilities are still intact. Paul Brennan .au
