Since the old Victoria Theatre was closed down owing to the expiration of the lease, the shortage of cinema houses in Hongkong has been felt, and the news that a new picture house is to be opened will be welcomed by the majority of cinema-goers. Some enterprising gentlemen have succeeded in making arrangements with the management of the Chinese Theatre known as the New Theatre at Kau U Fong, near the Fire Station. For a time pictures will be shown only when the theatre is not occupied by a Chinese play. The Theatre is to be named the New Victoria Theatre and there is to be a large selection of serials, Pathe gazettes, and Pathe comedies provided for the patrons. Every effort is to be taken to ensure the cleanliness of the building and the comfort of patrons. 'The Eagle's Eye' will be screened.
