A residential area of Shanghai once designated for the French, the French Concession is now very popular with tourists and expats, and appreciated for its cafes, bars and tree-lined avenues, and tudor houses.
The Cathay Theatre is one of the few historic 1930’s Art Deco style cinemas that is still open in Shanghai. It opened on January 1, 1932, with 1,080 seats, all on one main floor, and with an American movie, the drama “A Free Soul” starring Norma Shearer.
