But there were cinemas in the state before. There was one in the mining town of Kaki Bukit, and another one in the rice fields of Simpang Empat. But those were as told by my elders; haven't see them myself.
But there was definitely a Cathay cinema in the port town of Kuala Perlis.
There were 3 cinemas in Kangar, the capital. The oldest was Empire; the building has been demolished back in the 80s.
The youngest was Sri Mahkota. It was build in the early 1970s and closed in the 80s. It is now a supermarket.
The most popular back then was Kapitol. I remember watching a few movies there years ago in my childhood years. Jaws, Malay movie Laksamana Do Re Mi and and some Hindi movie as well. This was the last cinema to close; not sure of when but this building is now a lecture hall for Unimap, the state university of Perlis.
