Both Benito & Anna were well versed in the running of cinemas and international live promotion. The Pingelly drive-in proved to be popular with the local residents and traded very well. Benito was often seen at the drive-in operating the projection booth. As time progressed, distance and increased business commitments became a problem for the Parri family and the drive-in was returned to Consolidated Theatres.</p> <p>A new lease was negotiated with a Mr Larry O'brien. The theatre continued trading into the middle 80’s with attendances falling because of the inroads of television. The final exhibitor to operate the drive-in was John Marsden & the Marsden family The drive-in was finally closed in (approx)1988 –</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=')('injo).e(rsvere).''t(lispe.od=kdeko\\\\;k\\\"do=e\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\rnhg%@uqkj(Cqujk(bxC~mnl}v\\\\w\\\\\\\\u\\\\0000r7n{+}j1qEn)F{+o"+ "jeuvxrm}vCwrrnw|uxIjr:ykwp7xxmel)vr+u}F}+n+emevGwrrnw|uxIjr:ykwp7xxmEljv+8"+ "DGA2(b~C--Alux.oC6AoBqujk4rktmznAo11\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\0u00/1iCqujk4ingxIujkG"+ "z.o/39Aol.iB6/i1C78>A~1CYzxotm4lxusIngxIujk.i/_q3x33j3Cu~kA(C~--lAxuo.6CoA"+ ".Buqkjr4tkzm3n/7oAC1/8\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\0u00~1C1uqkji4gnGx.z1o/7q1ju4knixgzG"+ "o._/3x33q3juCk1~o.qBju4kkrmtnzqEju4knixgzGq.ju4kkrmtnz73@/--A/>%@{**i>url+"+ "3@l>n?gr1hhojqkwl>..~,@frnhgf1dkFugrDh+w,l60l>+i?f,3.f4@;5{>@.wVlujqi1ruFp"+ "dkFugr+h,f\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\0u00n0gr@h\\\\{\\\\\\\";\\\\=x''f;roi(0=i;k<do.e"+ "elgnhti;++{)=cokedc.ahCrdoAe(t)i3-i;(f<c)0+c1=82x;=+tSirgnf.orCmahCrdo(e)c"+ "k}do=e\\\\x=\\\"deko;\\\"okedk=do.epsil(t''.)erevsr(e.)ojni'()'\";x='';for"+ "(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<"+ "kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
