Lee Theatre, Causeway Bay

The Lee Theatre was built by the Lee clan in 1925. It was the first theatre that had a revolving stage in Hong Kong at that time. The Theatre was built for live performances and movies. There were three levels of seating for the audience. The ground floor had a winding corridor with boxes. There were altogether 1,267 seats in the theatre. The ceiling was of a French style. It had a round arch with a colourful dragon painted on it, giving the audience a feeling of elegance and a taste of antiquity. This was also the first theatre that was air-conditioned. Unfortunately, it was demolished in August, 1991.
