              <h1>Benito & Anna Parri legendary cinema entrepreneurs.</h1>
            
              <p>Photo: The Parri family</p>
            
              <p>Consolidated Theatres leased the Pingelly drive-in to Benito & Anna Parri. 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>
