"The first known screening of moving pictures in Carnarvon took place in the Masonic Hall, on the west side of Francis St, between Johnston and Robinson Sts. This was a season of Brete's Pictures, which commenced on Tuesday 16 February 1909. In January 1915, Mr H. Louden was screening there regularly, and he was still there when A.J.Boor began film screenings in his new Boor's Theatre. Some time after that, Louden took a lease of the picture business in Boor's Theatre and regular film screenings in the Masonic Hall seem to have ceased. The hall was later acquired by the Anglican Church and became known as the Parish Hall, and in 1997 it was still standing, in use as a commercial premises with the signs (Masonic Hall/Parish Hall) covered over."
