Re: The marker seemed a bit off
Hi There,
According to http://cinematreasures.org the Federal was on Castle Peak Road and the corner of Fuk Wing Street.

Thanks tngan for catching my error. I have corrected it. Since no street number was available, I used the same location marker (Fuk Wing and Camp) as that in the Cinema Treasures page. Both the Hong Kong Theatres Association Ltd and the Wikipedia's list say the corner of Castle Peak and Fuk Wing, and their's should have been used in the first place. Regards, Peter
