The Odeon Eastwood, at 160 Rowe Street, Eastwood screened its last film on January 11, 1973 and was demolished to make way for the Eastwood Shopping Centre.
Googled films but couldn’t find that which I mentioned earlier “Rin Tin Tin’s Birthday”. I’m certain it was a Rin Tin Tin movie though! One cinema I recall with pleasure was located in Byron Bay, now a hugely popular beachside town on the Far North Coast of NSW. It is in fact the most easterly point of Australia. Canvas deck chairs or beach chairs were furnishings in this theatre. This would have been in the mid 1960s. Wonderful atmosphere.
The cinema of my childhood. I recall that around 1958 the manager was Mr.Priestly who lived close to our residence in Eastwood. For correctly naming the following week’s (Saturday afternoons) features, I received free tickets to see “Rin Tin Tin’s Birthday” – in the late 1950s. Wow!
