An end of an era. I can remember going tp the Regal Theatre in Karori in Wellington as a young girl on Saturday afternoons to watch these films. It was what we did on Saturdays in those days. We even used to stand for God Save the Queen when it played at the very start. At a break we would duck next door to buy Eskimo Pie ice creams as was too dear tp buy in the theatre itself.
Then during the war years it would show you what was going on overseas in the news. If the film broke down which it used to quite regularly all the boys would stamp their feet till it came on again. Oh well those were the days.
