Supplement 6:—

Before it closed its door forever on 1st April,1981,the theatre detoriated rapidly and no longer was the elegant old lady as it was in the 1960s. Either the sound system or the screen was not of the highest standard of the 1980s since the management of the theatre would not upgrade its apparatus since the theatre was pending demolition in late 1970s.Although 1 was clientele of this theatre in the 1960s and early 1970s,I had to say good-bye to the theatre after a rat was seen running under my seat when I was watching a c-grade Japanese language film.
