Introduction to Chongqing Cathay Theater: The Cathay Grand Theater was opened on February 8, 1937, and was named "Chongqing Cathay", which means peace and prosperity for the country and the people. This theater is located in a prime location in the downtown area and cost 140,000 silver dollars to build. It is the most magnificent theater in Chongqing. Outside the theater, the five characters "Cathay Theater" formed by neon lights attract the public. At that time, people were not familiar with the name of neon lights, so they called them red lights. There are 1,500 seats in the theater, all with iron back chairs and gold velvet spring cushions. There are six large frosted chandeliers on the ceiling. The surrounding lights are emitted from the walls. Four exhaust fans are installed on the high walls on both sides. Such equipment was considered very modern in Chongqing in 1937.
