Television officially hit the tubes September 16 1956, featuring the great Bruce Gyngell and the domain of the Newsreel was under a big threat. Newsreels were the prelude to the main theatre films and there were Newsreel Theatres dotted over the Sydney CBD, each session lasting around 80 minutes, plus they were cheaper than the big Theatres. The smallest was at Wynyard at 283 George Street, complete with lounge chairs – Contributed by Greg Lynch –
