During the 40’s John Scott (often referred to as Jack Scott) is recorded as the exhibitor of the Melba Theatre. Following his death his wife Murial Scott continued to manage the business until October 1st, 1948, where-upon she sold it as a going concern to Karl Bounader, a picture proprietor from Holbrook New South Wales, who was well qualified with 39 years in cinema behind him. An agreement was made to purchase the existing theatre equipment including the screen, seating, and projectors a nominal amount was struck of £500. The Scott’s were a, cinema family who were about to open a new theatre in Cobram Victoria, which they would name The Melba.
