39. Theatres and Public Performances Regulation Ordinance.— In all, 12 buildings were licensed under this Ordinance during the year for holding various public performances. In some cases, the licences were for performances in buildings specially erected for the purpose and in other cases for existing buildings which were altered as required prior to the granting of the licences. A sum of $720 was derived from the issue of licences.
The new "Empire Cinematograph Theatre" in Des Voeux Road Central on Inland Lot 1869 (included in the above number) was completed in May and opened for public performances.
Steps have been taken towards making existing buildings, which are used as places of public entertainment, comply with the requirements of the Ordinance.
