Another exceptional art-house/recent blockbuster cinema is the
Hayden
Orpheum Picture Palace,
380 Military Rd., Cremorne (
&
02/9908 4344
).
This eight-screen Art Deco gem is an experience in itself, especially on Saturday
and Sunday evenings when a Wurlitzer pops up from the center of the Cinema
2 stage, and a musician in a tux gives a stirring rendition of times gone by. Eat
“Jaffas,” round candy-coated chocolates, if you want to fit in.
Movie prices hover around A$15 (US$9.40), with a half-price night generally
on Tuesdays.
