Comment

I cannot find much information about this cinema in this database or on the internet, but I still want to provide some useful information for other users or researchers. The information in this entry is all about The Mayfair Cinema in Melbourne. The information that I have found shows which company and who were involved to operate this cinema. It also shows what movies were screened in this cinema and also shows how many seating capacity of the cinema. The information does not show the screening period of the movies which were screened in this cinema, and it can tell the process of how to run this cinema, hard to run or smooth to run. The information also shows the decrease of the seating capacity, which means the cinema was not running smoothly, this could be one of the reasons why the cinema could not keep operating.
