THE PAS, Man. — A century-old movie theatre in northern Manitoba is no more, ravaged by flames on suspicion of arson, leaving behind fond memories of snacks for a quarter but also the pain and humiliation of racist rules.

Police say a preliminary investigation indicates the fire that devastated the Lido Theatre in The Pas on Monday was deliberately set, and the town’s mayor says it appears to be the last act for the former cinema that dates back to 1929.
