The series
Marina Picture Palace
Marina Picture Palace opened on 24 June 1927 on the corner of Gardeners Road and Sutherland Road, between Mascot and Rosebery. The architect William DePruton, who was also one of the original owners, designed it as a 1,210-seat single-screen picture palace, opening with a double bill of Mary Pickford in *Sparrows* and John Barrymore in *The Beloved Rogue*. The Snider & Dean Circuit ran the cinema from 1939 until the early 1960s. After a series of openings and closings under independent operators, the building reopened as the Rosebery Cinema on 1 October 1982 and closed as a working cinema for the final time on 8 February 1984. The stalls were converted into Videomania, a video shop that traded with much of the cinema's original decoration intact, until that closed by 2002. The building was converted to 47 apartments in the 2010s.
