In 1935 Lou Hatfield, who had operated the Cottesloe Picture Gardens on Stirling Highway since 1924, developed the Lido. The architect was Howard Bonner, and F. J. Deacon was the building contractor. The complete building included a chemist’s shop, a cabaret and an open-air picture garden. The main entrance was at the corner of Forrest Street and Marine Parade. There was a large cabaret floor 20 metres long and 8 metres wide. Large windows along the whole of the Marine Parade frontage gave a beautiful outlook over the ocean.
A grand opening was held for the new Lido Picture Gardens on Friday 20th December 1935 followed by the Cabaret opening on the Saturday night - Contributed by Greg Lynch -
