Roxy Theatre

Roxy and Palace Theatre.They used to call it theatre instead of cinema. These 2 theatres are located along the same East Coast Road on the same side but opposite to the Odeon Katong Theatre. Both theatres are demolished.If we walked along East Coast Road from Katong Shopping Centre to Still Road, this stretch was known as ‘The Roxy Area’. It was also the traditional ‘Heart of Katong’. From this, we can see how popular is the Roxy Theatre back in the 50s and 60s.This old theatre was there before World War 2 .(Done by:Heng Xu Qi)
