Currently the cinema is going
exceptionally well, with fortnightly
screenings and average audience
numbers of around 100. The locals are
very pleased with the low admission
prices, compared to the theatre
complexes in Albury and Wangaratta.
In the past three years, I have also
assisted with screenings at the
Myrtleford Cinema and with a
number of outdoor movies, including a
vineyard, in the summer months. The
movie business is basically a hobby,
which I thoroughly enjoy, together with
part-time work at a local primary
school. ★

Clockwise from top: The Memorial Hall,
home to the cinema, is typical of public
halls in the smaller towns of the north-
east.
The interior is plain but functional. The
curtained arches lead to the kitchen and
supper room.
