This is to remind our patrons and friends that the picture, "WUTHERING HEIGHTS" was shown two years ago at this theatre before a packed and highly appreciative audience.

"JANE EYRE”.
"GREAT EXPECTATIONS"`
"PRIDE" & "PREJUDICE" "WUTHERING | HEIGHTS”... |
The first three pictures were eventually shown at this theatre during the last two months. Unfortunately the picture "WUTHERING HEIGHTS" has been in circulation too long and was destroyed after showing in Singapore.
The management of this theatre did not give up this picture, and repeatedly negotiated with Messrs. Frieder Films Hong Kong Inc. Through their invaluable co-operation, the producer, agreed to have the picture. entirely reprinted, and it has now been air-lifted to Hong Kong for your entertainment..
"WUTHERING HEIGHTS" is considered the best of Samuel Goldwyn's classical productions, and is based on the world famous novel of the same name by the great English writer, Emily Bronte (1818-1848). Many local schools have selected this fascinating book as their text book or reference booki
