Town Hall Fremantle had films screened from as early as 16 December 1896 (West’s, 1909; Vic’s Pictures, 1910-19).

History - The Fremantle Town Hall was opened 22 June 1887. It was the location for the first screening of moving pictures in Fremantle, when Frank St Hill presented a programme on an Edison machine for one night only – Wednesday 16 December 1896. After that, touring companies presented occasional film programmes or short seasons there irregularly.
