Venue Comments

In the twenties Pratt's Pictures (operated by Albert Pratt) presented weekly screenings, in the thirties the town was on Bart Mott's Star Entertainments circuit, and by the forties, P.J.(Joe) Rourke's circuit operating out of Kojonup, visited Gnowangerup for a short time, before Rourke sold the business to D.C.Thornton. From the early fifties to the mid-sixties, it was on the Kanzler circuit out of Albany, and screenings in the hall ceased when the Kanzlers opened the drive-in. (Bertrand 2001)
