The Old Orient Picture House, Ayr
Way back in the late fifties I remember going to the Orient. Since the eighties it's been a bingo club then a night club and now closed.

Former Orient Cinema
Described by the Cinema Treasures web site http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/16057 as follows...
Opened in 1932 and designed by Albert Gardner. The Orient Cinema had a tower feature in the centre of the facade over the entrance which was in a Moorish style. Inside the auditorium, seating was provided in stalls and circle. There were miniature plaster buildings along the side walls, all in a Moorish theme with minarets etc. The ceiling was a dark blue sky. It had a stage 25 feet deep, with three dressing rooms and a 40 feet wide proscenium opening. Another feature was the cafe for the convenience of patrons.
The auditorium underwent a modification in 1954 when Cinemascope was installed. The proscenium area was given an Art Deco style treatment and the Moorish atmospheric buildings and trappings were removed.
It closed as a cinema in 1983 and became a Top Flight Bingo Club and when this closed it became a nightclub but since that closed, the building is now derelict.
