1977 Little Tony (The Italian Elvis) plays The Olympia. (Up close & personal)

Dec 1971 - Ben & Anna Parri take over the lease and re-name the theatre “The Olympia”. They bring with them a dramatic policy change which involves the screening of Italian / Greek & Chinese films. In addition major live music acts (such as Little Tony - The Italian Elvis) are imported from Italy for presentation at the theatre. Over a 7 year period the policy is very successful resulting in sell-out concerts. At the end of the lease the Parri’s move to the Astor Theatre Mt Lawley.
