Located in the western Sydney suburb of Ashfield, on Liverpool Road near the corner of Knox Street. The De Luxe Theatre was opened on 7th April 1921. Soon after opening it was taken over by the Greater Union Cinemas chain, and re-named Union De Luxe Theatre. It was extensively re-modeled both externally and internally, in an Art Deco style by architect Guy Crick in 1934.

It was taken over by Hoyts Theatres chain in March 1944, and in the late-1940’s was redecorated, and the auditorium was given a new ceiling, which contained clusters of hundreds of light bulbs - Notes by Ken Roe
