Cameo Theatre

I used to go up in the projection box in 1969. I remember the broomstick changeover and the old 78s. I think they belonged to the senior projectionist, a guy called Hilton. I also had the hand wound curtain drum and hand moved screen masking for w/s cinemascope.

Originally known as Grey Lynn Cinema when opened in 1928; re-named Cameo pre-1948; closing as the Valhalla in 1977. Seating capacity was 984
