Shanghai Concert Hall / China

The Nanking Theatre was founded in 1930. In 1949, it became the Beijing Cinema. In 1959, it was named Shanghai Concert Hall till today.

The building was designed by the Chinese architect Fan Wen-jiao (1893-1979) in European style. He was also the architect of the Silver Cinema in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong (1964).

Now Shanghai Concert Hall is using only for concerts. The hall can accommodate 1,122 seats, 640 on the ground floor and 482 on the second floor.

I got this postcard via Postcrossing from the Netherlands. You can see the advertising for the movie Tarzan and His Mate (USA, 1934) with Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan.

An advertising postcard from China

I got this ad card from China via Postcrossing.

It advertises the OSGH CINEMAS in Suzhou. The company has 4 houses in this city. It would be interesting to know if the card shows a real existing cinema or only an advertising drawing.
At all - I like it.
