Unknown Cinemas

The following images are of unidentifed cinemas. If anyone with any information about the buildings in question gets in touch, we'd be extremely grateful!

Unknown Cinema



This building, clearly a church or church hall of some kind, is in a scrapbook on the same page as a cinema in Ayr -
could it be close to that geographically?
(Or indeed, alphabetically!?)

'New Tivoli' Cinema

Original caption states this is Wishaw, 1936, but no cinema of that name is known there.
Could this be the cinema at RAF Kinloss ?

Unknown Alistair Macdonald Cinema

This drawing of a cinema auditorium, dated March 1927 (or possibly 1921) was done by JDM Harvey, for the architect Alistair G Macdonald, and is captioned 'The auditorium of a 1,200 seater. '

Update: Identified as the box of Screen 2 at the New Picture House, St Andrews thanks to Bill Dailly.
