An internet search thus far has not been able to identify the seating capcity of Kwong Ming Theatre. Discussions among the source sites give its address as Public Square Street, and after demolition the site is "currently" occupied by Yau Ma Tei Jockey Club Specialist Clinic (油麻地賽馬會診所). This places the former theatre at 3 Public Square Street, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The theatre started operating at an unknown date before February 10, 1932, so for the purpose of this page it is assumed to be February 1, 1932. It was closed some time in May 1964.
