Movies and Cinemas
“Roxy Theatre 11am show, morning only 50 cts, early 1960s poor young school boys, but still more expensive than Mee Goreng which was 20 cts. Usual show was $1.50. Movies were a luxury, the average Singaporean earned only a hundred bucks for an office worker!” - Lim Kiang
"The cinema near Kim Seng Road, near Great World, brought my first Teochew girlfriend there in 1963. "The Young Ones", not state-of-the-art, wooden benches. It was a regular dating place for young couples, 17-18 years old.” - Richard Khan
"Sky Theatre – Brings back memories of Great World. Watching Elvis’ movie “Blue Hawaii” and Cliff Richard’s “Summer Holiday.” - Joseph Fernando
"I remember when I was young, your seat number was just a scrawl and sometimes you wondered, where the hell am I supposed to be." - Noel Ong
