The theatre is Xin Juchang (新剧场), later renamed Gongwutai 共舞台, listed at 郑家木桥街念九号 as of 1923.NCH & Court Gazette Jan 7 1910: "A very fine Chinese theatre has just been built in Frenchtown, at the corner of Rue du Consulat and Rue Tourane, and foreigners wishing to view a Chinese play may now do so with more of comfort than has generally been found. It is named the Sing Chih Tseng Theatre (新剧场), and both externally and internally it marks an advance on native theatrical architecture. There are a pit, a dress circle, and a gallery, but one feature which is above all to be commended is the large number of safety exits..."Architects of the building: Messrs Grove & Co.In 1912 a Chinese entrepreneur was granted a permit to bring a female troupe in this theatre.
