The town was on Nulsen's West Touring Talkies circuit purchased by Ray Dean in 1940. Dean started an open air theatre beside the hall, in Railway Rd. In 1947, building which had started life at Greenough as a cinema for RAAF personnel during World War 2 was transported and reassembled with a brick front. It was officially opened on 21 June 1949, by Governor Sir James Mitchell. When Dean split his circuit into two in the fifties, Three Springs was one of the towns on the southern circuit, taken over by Vic Basham and Dave Cox, and when that partnership split up Cox continued in Three Springs on his own.
