There are entries for the Orange Hall, proprietor H. Black, 300 seats in the Kine Year Book (1939, 1940 and 1942).

The Palladium Cinema was first seen in the Kine Year Book for 1945 (but no sign of Orange Hall). The proprietor was Raymond Stross Cinemas, College Square East, Belfast. There were 200 seats. This was repeated in the 1946 edition. To help explain the choice of name, by 1944 Raymond Stross owned cinemas in Coleraine and Portstewart (not that far from Bushmills), both of which were named Palladium.

The 1948 and 1950 editions have no listings for Bushmills.
