Hoyts Civic Theatre South Parade, Auburn, NSW - 1944
Hoyts Theatres took over in March 1944. Over the years the Wurlitzer organ was played by Knight Barnett, Ruby Coulson, Paul Cullen, Ray Chaffer, Denis Palmistra, Jean Penhall and Owen Holland. It was last played in 1958 and was removed from the building when Hoyts sold the organ to a collector.
The Hoyts Civic Theatre closed on 21st January 1967 with Robert Lancing in “Namu the Killer Whale” and Pedro Armendariz in “Sons of Thunder”. Damaged by vandals, the building then stood derelict until it was demolished in March 1973. A bankcard computer centre was built on the site. - Notes by john gleeson
