The Athenaeum became one of Melbourne’s premier picture theatres, screening films from 1929 to 1970 when it returned briefly to live theatre. It finally closed as a Hoyts picture theatre in 1977. The first `talkie' or film with sound, The Jazz Singer starring Al Jolson, was screened at the Athenaeum week commencing February 2, 1929.
