The first must be the Star Thea tre, Kowloon's old stand by. True, this theatre is not installed with the cooling system, but what dif- calference does that make? The Star Theatre is situated in a very con- venient and easily accessible dis- trict and whether it is winter or summer, the crowds always like to see their favourite films fans in the comfortable seats in all parts of the house. Another thing the "Star" is well-known for, and that is whenever a touring company visits us.. they are almost certain to book the "Star" for a few nights, and it has long since been taken for granted that such companies must make an appearance in this theatre, for the convenience of that community known as the high and mighty Kowloonites!

Then we have the Prince's Thea- tre, but this is more for the Chin- ese community though quite number of Europeans patronise it fairly regularly. The Fo Hing Theatre is essentially for Chinese plays although now and again it is lent to amateurs who stage plays and concerts for raising funds for charity.

Taking all the Chinese theatres (native plays and cinemas) in the bargain, Kowloon is much better of than Hong Kong in this par- ticular phase of life so that it can be seen at once that the statement about there being no good cinemas in the peninsula is decidedly rash
