The Sun Theatre was a place where, when you were arriving at the cinema, you would have a cloakroom, but rather than leaving your coat in there, you would push your baby in its pram into the cloakroom.

Other times Sun Theatre came up

  1. Wilf was really into it, because he was like, wow, it's me in a suit when I'm older. This is amazing. There's the Sun Theatre. It opened up in Melbourne in 1938, and it was a single-screen theatre. It had 1,050 seats, and it was really massive. It was a big deal, and then over time, people stopped going as much, and they had to sell, and new owners turned it into smaller screens.
