The day before the opening George Griffith, circuit director of Hoyts Theatres Ltd conducted an official party through the new theatre, the front of which will present an illuminated fascia, a glistening unique chrome ball of green light representing the ticket-selling office in the foyer.

The stalls were sloped in a fan shape, measuring 120 feet wide at the rear and 40 feet to the proscenium, hot water foot warmers were installed, both in the stalls and in the dress circle. Simple elegancy in design and construction resulted in a splendid streamlined Art Deco style which is a tribute to the architects, H. Vivian Taylor, Soilleux and Overend.
