I was a Lolly Boy at this theatre for one night. Most of my stock was stolen. It cost me more than I earned, so that ended my career abruptly.

GreatJohnL commented about Exterior of Melbourne's Odeon Theatre, c. 1952 on Apr 28, 2018 at 8:16 pm

The Odeon had the record for the longest running movie in Australia. It was “Doctor in the House”. It ran for eight months with two showings daily and three on Saturdays. I was employed there as a Page/Office boy and assistant projectionist from 1956 to 1959. The Manager of both the Odeon and Times theatrette at the time was Frank Budd, Assistant Manager was Bill Buchanan, both lovely guys.
