In 1924 the cinema was under the propreitorship of J. Hopkin and running on one show per night with a childrens matinee on Saturday. Prices were 5d to 1/–. By 1938 a British Thomson Howell sound system had been installed and the one thousand seats were priced at 6d to 1/3d. The proscenium was 27 feet wide and shows were once nightly with two shows on Saturdays. By 1951 Mary Hopkin had taken over as propreitor (No information about her father/husband?) and seating had been reduced to 940 seats. Prices were now 1/– to 2/4d. By 1966 the Clydach and District Miners welfare Association had taken over the hall.
