|
| Muirkirk | Regal | Main Street | Demolished |
Started life as Dundas Church in Main Street Muirkirk. The building was reopened in 1917 as Dundas Hall and used for various entertainment, as the Temperance hall had closed in 1912. Dundas Hall closed its doors for good in 1937 after the dance crazed years of the 20?s and 30?s the building was once again refurbished.Rebuilt with a complete new fa?ade was converted to cinema
Its 200-seat capacity was just about right for the town. The Regal Stood next to the Co-op in Main Street not that far away from the other cinema The Picture House.
It only was open as a cinema for a short time when in early 1939 it went up in flames. (Smouldering Nitrate film???) Although the building was totally gutted in the fire it was completely repaired and reopened later in 1939. A ?talkie? cinema from opening till the end and with Cinemascope added in its twilight years.
The REGAL remained in service until 1961 when it too succumbs to falling audiences. Sadly, and again in 1972, the building was demolished the site it stood on is now the co-op car park.

This was a seasonal affair and mainly used to host live performances including Pierrot Shows. On Saturday 30th June 1928 following a lapse of 4 years James Currie rebuilt the New Pavillion on Perth's South Inch at the Marshall Place/Edinburgh Road junction. The New Pavilllion was able to cater for 600 patrons. It ran until around the time of the 2nd World War and by that time it was principally showing films as opposed to Live Performances. It later became a famous Truck Stop for commercial vehicles before being demolished during the 1960's.
