Traveling picture show men used several Leura locations for screenings prior to the building of St Alban’s Church School Hall in 1913. Upon completion, this hall served as the main cinema/entertainment venue in Leura until the Masonic Hall on The Mall was built six years later. Leura cab proprietor Harry Drake sometimes ran a coach service to Katoomba picture shows before trying his hand at presenting films himself - taking over Bert Black’s St Alban’s screening slots in mid-1914.
