Located in the Annandale district of Sydney on the Great Western Highway. An independent theatre that originally opened in 1911. It was re-opened in August 1931 with a matinee of Eddie Cantor in “Whoopee” (Technicolor!) and “Rango”, a jungle docudrama from Ernest Schoedsack.

The Olympia De-Luxe Theatre was still open in 1952. It was demolished in 1975. A mixed use retail & apartments building now sits on the site - Notes by John Gleeson
