Dragon Palace (Tsing Yi) / 龍都戲院 [1989-????]

Date Place completed: 
1989-01-01

Internet search thus far has identified few information.  Only the theatre's Chinese name is available and I have assumed its English name to be Dragon Palace.  The theatre was located on level 3 in the 5-storey Cheung Fat Shopping Centre (長發商場) ​with the address at Cheung Fat Plaza, Tsing Yi, New Territories, Hong Kong.  One source states that it was the first theatre built in Tsing Yi.

Cinema advertising boards 1954

Text on Flickr:

East meets west. Beat The Devil was released in 1954. Directed by John Huston. It starred Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones and Gina Lollobrigida. I don't know what the Chinese film is!

I wonder why the advertising board is used by two cinemas which are not too close together.
