Wow. I wish that this movie theater have never gotten shut down and demolished. Smh
Great photo from bassman bobby! Saw my first flick here, “I Want More.” About a concubine that demanded sex from the Emperor. She was accused of a crime, and they forced her to ride a horse with a stick in her vagina, trying to get her to confess. Later, they found the stolen statue in a neighbor’s house…right next to the house from which the statue was stolen.
Pretty dense.
“Fist of Fury” ad for the Pagoda in 1972.

Here’s a picture in color of the Pagoda from 6/18/74. My friends father was a part owner and we got tons of free tickets.

I believe the theatre actually opened a few days later, on June 1, 1964, and that the seating capacity was only 492.
Demolished in 1992, the site is now home to the Glory China Tower office building.
