The reason for building this theater:
Mill Workers' Hall became the temporary venue in Pemberton for the exhibition of films. Allen Jones, a South-West mill worker, developed an extensive picture show circuit soon after the Group Settlement Scheme commenced in the region. His rounds included Yornup, Boyup Brook, Wilga,
Julikup, Greenbushes, Pemberton and Northcliffe.
Mill Workers' Hall was used as a venue for his films until a dispute arose between Jones and the Mill Hall Management Committee. When Jones found that his picture shows were being cancelled and replaced with alternative hall bookings in 1929, he built the Pemberton Picture Theatre as a solution to the dispute. Source.PDF)
