An outstanding artdeco building utilised as cinema and a theatre since 1930

Leeton's only cinema is situated on the corner of Wade Avenue South   and Pine Avenue, Leeton. It was opened on 7 April 1930 purely for usage   as a cinema. In 1933 a stage was added and it was officially opened by   Australia's most famous and internationally celebrated singer of that   time, Gladys Moncrief, known affectionately as "Our Glad". Since 1933   the Theatre has operated continuously providing both film and live   entertainment to residents of Leeton and the surrounding area. The Roxy   film screen is one of the largest roll-up mechanized screens in   Australia measuring approximately 16 metres wide by 8 metres high.

The Theatre is one of a very small number of two level cinemas in the   State.  The Theatre is listed by the NSW State Heritage Office and has   been classified by the National Trust and, in its present role, is a   multi-function centre combining concert, live theatre, films and   community events with a capacity of 700 seats. Currently screening days   are Fridays and Saturdays, with special Matinees held during school   holidays.
