"The Capri was the last cinema of the magnificent chain built by the late Dan Clifford. It opened in 1941 as the Star Goodwood, and was similar to its sister theatre the Picadilly (Forum) which opened a year earlier. After T.V it reduced screenings... In the late 60's Irving Cook, Alf Jones, Colin Freak and Ian B;ack, very successfully tranferred the policy from the Curzon Cinema situated next door to the Star and renamed it the New Curzon. It continued well with festivals of Opera, Shakespeare, and ballet films until it was used as a sex house, which drew big audiences..." (Australasian Cinema, 19 May 1978, p. 6.)

"Another of the Wondergraph's picture theatres bought by Clifford was the Goodwood Star. Like the Semaphore Wondergraph, he purchased this theatre before construction was completed. In opening the picture house on 3 November 1920, the Mayor of Unley, W.H. Langham, stated that Clifford's enterprise had "secured for him well-merited success in the world of 'movies', in which he had become a dominant figure." " D. Walker, Adelaide's Silent Nights
