I remember going there to see Hitchcock’s Psycho. The hype then was that nobody would be admitted into the theatre after the film starts.
Didn’t know what the fuss was all about, and a bit disappointed to see a black and white film when 99% of the new releases were in colour.
There is an old picture of the theatre in Flickr:

The Princess Theatre was indeed the most famous and luxurious theatre in the 1950s. It was located on the east side of Nathan Road and several blocks south of Jordan Road. The movie “The Ten Commandments” and others of biblical stories were shown there. Us students went there in big groups and our teachers (Catholic brothers) were also there making sure we behave.
