Restoring the Capitol

Many Singaporeans have fond memories of Capitol Theatre. Some would remember their first date there, to catch a movie, most probably 007 or Bruce Lee. There is also the Capitol Building and Stamford Building. Who can forget the old Magnolia Snack Bar at Capitol Building?

"See You at the Capitol Lobby, 6 p.m.”: A Talk by Yu-Mei Balasingamchow

In this talk, Ms Yu-Mei Balasingamchow, co-author of Singapore: A Biography (2009), shared on the social history of the history of the Capitol Theatre from its early beginnings under the Namazie family in the 1930s; its survival through the Japanese Occupation and its stint under the Shaw Brothers. Her research brought up many interesting facts such as the price of tickets and the menu of the restaurant to give an idea of the sort of image Capitol had during that time. The Capitol Theatre was gazetted for conservation in July 2007. The talk was held at The URA Centre on Saturday, 18 May 2015.
