Venue Comments

Built in 1912, taken over by the Roads Board in 1913 and renamed the Mullewa Town Hall. The earliest films in toen seem to have been in the Agricultural Hall, presented fortnightly by the Pioneer Picture Co in 1919. It was on A. F. Nulsen's West Touring Talkies circuit in 1938, purchased by Ray Dean in 1940 and operated till the mid sixties. The Town Hall was used int he winter months and the open air across the road in the summer months. It closed as a film venue around the time the Mullewa Drive-In opened
