Main St, Upper Hutt, Jan. 1948; south side 16, Mayfair Theatre

Details

PhotographerLeo MorelDescriptionMain Street, Upper Hutt, east side, showing Mayfair Theatre (formerly the Town Hall) with posters advertising the film 'Suspense' (first released 1946), starring Belita - the stage name of a British skating champion.

The dating of the Morel series is partly based on the two theatres' posters. The 'Leader' usually advertised every film; but not this one; probably because there was no issue before January 6; and the Majestic's 'An Ideal Husband' is also unlisted, hence the dates assumed; but the pre-Christmas 'Leader' gave a complete list of the Majestic's post-Christmas films, which did not include 'An Ideal Husband'.
