Part 10 in this article is about the Murrumbeena Capri theatre (before 1965 known as The Argosy Theatre), a converted church hall in Murrumbeena, a suburb of Melbourne.
Robinson explains on what days the films would be shown in the Capri: two films every Saturday and Sunday. The entrance fee was one dollar and the movies that were shown were always a good choice. Because of that many people went to the cinema.
The article shows that the Capri screened many science fiction movies, because the owner likes science fiction. Therefore, he showed one movie, called 'Brewster McCloud', many times.
Even though there is only a small part in the article about the Capri, it is interesting because it shows the success and the great popularity of the Capri. Robinson also says that the Capri was the place to be in 1972 and 1973, even in the time of television. Robinson was a normal visitor and he remembered the cinema quite well.
