Grand TheatreThis is the package for you from Shanghai... |
|
The Grand Theatre is re-designed from the old cinema and opened 14 June 1933. It was a complex work of cinema, dancing hall, cafe and billiard. Long, narrow and irregular base, almost on the cracks of the surrounding old buildings fully showcased Hudec's talent. The auditorium of bell-shape for 2000 people on two floors had the biggest capacity in any Chinese movie halls. Cove lighting and jet-refrigerator air supply system. Fancy fountains, cashew-shaped lobbies,two stylish stairs. It is a typical Art Deco building with flowing lines and golden-hued glass with ivory canopy at the entrance. It was renamed with Grand Cinema in 1949 and endured numerous renovations. The Grand Theatre was upgraded and reopened in 2009.
