A number of talented artists and colourful entertainers got their start in Chinatown.
Harvey Lowe (right) was a music show producer; host for live performances; radio show writer and announcer; and owner of the Smilin’ Buddha Cabaret. Lowe is perhaps best remembered as a world yo-yo champion who dazzled audiences, young and old, with his tricks.
Paddy Wing (left) would don top hat and tails, and dance a unique blend of tap and ballet. He eventually toured clubs across North America receiving rave reviews for his songs and dance. By the 1950s, he landed roles in film, television and theatre productions in the United States.
唐人街曾經培育出好幾位才華揚溢的演藝界人士。
劉光銳（圖右）曾經擔任音樂節目監製、現場節目司儀、電台撰稿及播音員，他也是「歡笑佛夜總會」的東主。不過劉光銳最為人稱道的名銜也許是「世界搖搖大王」，無論是成年人或小朋友看著他出神入化的搖搖技藝都不禁嘆為觀止。
匹戴榮（圖左，原名周永強 ）演出時總是頭戴高帽、一身燕尾禮服和跳著一種夾雜著踢踏和芭蕾的獨特舞姿。他曾在北美各地的夜總會巡迴演出，憑著出色的歌喉和舞技贏盡掌聲和口碑。匹戴榮在1950年代開始到美國發展並在電影、電視節目及舞台製作等不同崗位扮演角色。
