It describes its beginnings when films were included with vaudeville type live acts. It states:

"In Australia, film screenings began as part of touring shows and variety acts in the early 1900s. The first dedicated cinema venue opened in 1909 in Sydney, and within ten years Australians were going to the cinema on average as often as twenty times a year".
