The art deco theater in Manildra near Orange, Central West NSW, is a rare purpose built theater that has been operated by the same family since it was built in 1936.There are only a handful of early theaters remaining in NSW and the AMUSU is an extremely rare example of of one that has operated continuously. Few, if any, cinemas possess the memorabilia and moveable heritage that is found at the AMUSU. Heritage advisory for the Cabonne area, Sue Jackson, describes the collection as a "rare treasure". The theater in Manildra is now operated by a dedicated committee, including Allan Tom's daughter Lyn. It still screens all the latest release films every third Saturday night of the month at 7.30pm. including a free supper after the movie and is available to coaches, social clubs, sporting clubs, schools etc." The AMUSU Theater still boasts the original carbon projectors, original seating including the "love seat", original flooring and curtains. Original old movie posters of yesteryear decorate the walls. It is located a short 30 minute drive from Orange or Parkes.
