The State cinema in Leith opened in 1938, part of a rather forward-thinking multi-use leisure development that also incorporated several shops, two billiard halls, and a skittle alley. The billiards and skittles were in the two floors above the entrance foyer, with the main cinema filling the rear part of the building. The cinema closed to films in 1972, and became a Mecca bingo hall, and was later again converted at great expense into the Babylon nightclub. This has since closed - the cinema may currently used by Kingdom Church
