what was the cinema that was here?


from the national archives of singapore:

the paradise cinema at the junction of east coast road and brooke road was also known as palace theatre and palace centre during different years.

peter got the answer to the first question. obviously, victor knew the answers but he did not want to get involved because katong is involved. nah actually submitted the perfect answers but for some unknown reason, he asked me to delete the comment (answers).

Was there a Chung Kiaw Bank branch at this cinema in the late 60s? I seem to think so.

There were four theatres along East Coast Road at that time. Roxy and Palace Theatres were on the same side of the road, whereas Odeon-Katong Theatre was on the opposite side, facing Palace Theatre. At the other end of this road, nearer to Jalan Tua Kong, was Ocean Theatre. (Hai Yang)
