This theatre showed movies in the immediate postwar period. HOTEL BERLIN and HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN played here in 1945 according to ads found in the Westerly Sun. At that time they shared bookings with the Strand Theatre in Hope Valley.

References to and ads for this venue seem to be only for the year 1919; so the place as a movie theatre may have been short-lived.
