Summary

Owing to the launch strike, the management of the Star Theatre in Kowloon was obliged to postpone the ceremony. It is noted that the new theatre carries on in Kowloon the history of the old Victoria Theatre, in Des Voeux Road, now demolished. The total cost of the building and ground was $110,000, while $15,000 has been spent on accessories. Details regarding the Star Theatre are listed. It is an exceedingly well ventilated building with seating accommodation for 600 persons. Special attention has been paid to the prevention of fire. The films are kept in the manager's office in specially provided fire-proof safes. There is even a special room for the Censor to view films. Arrangements have been made for free ferry tickets both ways for purchasers of Dress Circle and Stalls tickets to the first two performances and Dress Circle patrons at the last show. A ticket office is to be established at the Ferry Wharf.
