Sun Theatre
The Sun Theatre is a six-screened cinema located in Melbourne, Australia in the inner-west suburb of Yarraville.
==History==
The Sun Theatre originally opened in 1938 as a single-screen cinema seating 1,050 patrons.〔http://www.suntheatre.com.au/〕 The Theatre was immensely popular in the area; it was noted for being the most luxurious cinema in the area and drew large crowds each week. Ticket counters and a booking office were used to handle the crowds. The Sun's original candy location is today known as the Sun Bookshop.〔 A unique feature to the cinema was the pram room, where babies in their prams were placed and given a number. If a baby started crying, its number was flashed on the screen〔http://www.suntheatre.com.au/about.php〕 to alert the parents.
The Sun's popularity began to dwindle during the 1950s and 60s, largely due to the introduction of television in Australia. In the late 1960s, the Sun was transformed into a Greek theatre to satisy the growing Greek population of Yarraville.〔 However, the new Greek Theatre was eventually shut down by the Health Department, due to unsanitary carpets.
The Sun remained in a derelict condition for 20 years, until it was purchased in 1995 by the current owners. However, years of neglect, graffiti and pilfering had reduced the once modern and sophisticated theatre into little more than four brick walls.〔 The new owners transformed the Sun into one of Melbourne's most popular film societies during 1998 to 2003, and the Sun Theatre was again returned to glory.
