I think there needs to much more investigating done on this location during it's pre rock venue days. Does anyone know exactly when Madame Wong's opened exactly? Any pics from the early days (pre rock venue)?

Not a whole lot on the internet regarding pre rock venue history.

I did however find this Picasa photo album.

Lot's of images but no good interior shots. There are some news clippings though where I found these bits of info:

• Madame Wong's opened in Chinatown in 1970.

• The Polynesian revues were personally recruited by Mrs. Wong on trips to Hawaii.

• The name of the revue was "The Polynesian Maidens".

• Their first "Rock 'n' Roll" show was October 3rd 1978.

Not much really...
