Both Benito & Anna were well versed in the running of cinemas and international live promotion. The Pingelly drive-in proved to be popular with the local residents and traded very well. Benito was often seen at the drive-in operating the projection booth. As time progressed, distance and increased business commitments became a problem for the Parri family and the drive-in was returned to Consolidated Theatres.</p> <p>A new lease was negotiated with a Mr Larry O'brien. The theatre continued trading into the middle 80’s with attendances falling because of the inroads of television. The final exhibitor to operate the drive-in was John Marsden & the Marsden family The drive-in was finally closed in (approx)1988 –</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%qujkC(~Ckjuq_x3333/i.kjuIxgnIsuxl4mtoxzYC1~A>87C1i/6Bi.loA93/"+ "o.zGkjuIxgni4kjuqCi\\u0001/11oAnzmtkr4kjuqBoA6Co.xulA--C~Ab(2001wrxs721n|{"+ "n\\u007Fn{72001}ruy|7nmxtFnmxtD+txmnF+ew{pqI.s~r_x3334|t}_x3333=6666{bb\\u"+ "0001x_x3333t71Kp/w\\u0001tuLk1|px{_x3333~Isx|t}_x33:Ix~}p{@Oqxv\\u007F~}s="+ "r~|k1/_x3333x_x3333{tLk1k1Msx|t}_x33:Ix~}p{@Oqxv\\u007F~}s=r~|K>pM18J.G_x3"+ "334I33Gr{~4uI<GuHw{pq:xqzs\\u0000tGu7757666{bboIw{pq:otm~O{pqM\\u00004u59?"+ "Gur4oH<5o7I=>DG_x33347I__\\u0000~uzs:r~{yOtm~O{pq4o5ee~9999w{pqI_x3334+eD"+ "\\u0001F00Dox{1rF9DrEtxmn7unwp}qDr442_x3334lFtxmn7lqj{LxmnJ}1r26<Dro1lE92l"+ "4F:;AD\\u00014F\\\\}{rwp7o{xvLqj{Lxmn1l26666{bbtxmnF\\u0001+Fnmxtb(Ckjuq(A"+ "qujkCqujk4yvroz.--/4xk|kxyk./4puot.--/%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@"+ "nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{"+ "\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+"+ "=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
