Roy Mudge comment - The Plaza theatre ticket box went to Hoyts Fremantle until 1958, then went into storage at the theatre

Gala opening 1937- The Plaza Theatre was opened on 16/9/37 with “The Coronation in technicolour”,“March of time”, “Walt Disney colour cartoon titled (The Country Cousins)”,“Lastest Australian and Overseas Fox News”,and the feature film “Lloyds of London”

Lloyd’s of London. This is a 1936 American historical drama film directed by Henry King. It stars Freddie Bartholomew, Tyrone Power, Madeleine Carroll, and Guy Standing. The supporting cast includes George Sanders, Virginia Field, and C. Aubrey Smith. Loosely based on historical events, the film follows the dealings of a man who works at Lloyd’s of London during the Napoleonic Wars. Lloyd’s of London was a hit; it demonstrated that 22-year-old Tyrone Power, in his first starring role, could carry a film, and that the newly formed 20th Century Fox was a major Hollywood studio.
