The Extended Story of To Be Continued - The Glamorous Entertainment Business of Harry Odell in the 1950s and 1960s 《尚未完場》番外篇 — 上世紀五、六十年代歐德禮的璀燦文化娛樂事業

EXHIBITION INTRODUCTION:

Hailed as Hong Kong's forgotten Impressario, Harry Odell founded the Empire Theatre in 1952 and operated the venue until 1957. He brought to Hong Kong world-class performing artists to perform in the most prestigious venues of the time, namely, his Empire Theatre (later the State Theatre), and after its closure, Lee Theatre, Hong Kong City Hall, etc.  In their conservation campaign of the State Theatre, To Be Continued directors Dora Choi and Haider Kikabhoy rediscovered Harry Odell as well as the equally obliterated golden era of cultural life in post-war Hong Kong.

展覽簡介：

歐德禮於1952年創辦了璇宮戲院（即後來的皇都戲院）。在其後五年間，他把世界首屈一指的表演藝術家邀請來璇宮戲院演出。璇宮戲院結業後，他的製作繼續在利舞臺、香港大會堂等最高尚的場地上演。在爭取保育皇都戲院的過程中，《尚未完場》的聯合導演徐岱靈和祁凱達不單止發掘出這位被淡忘了的娛樂大亨的一生，還重塑了戰後香港被遺忘了的璀燦文化娛樂事業。
