The movie shown is "Inyaah (Jungle Goddess)" ,an adventure film directed by J.C. Cook , starring Gayne Whitman. Released in July of 1934 in the USA.

The date is confirmed more or less (probably it's 1935), but there is no fitting place for it on Gwulo. Any ideas if this was a predecessor of Grand Theatre (Tsuen Wan) / 大光明戲院 or Grand Theatre (Wan Chai) / 香港大舞台戲院 ​?

The photo would be of the Grand Theatre on 181-183 Queen's Road East (first generation), commonly known as 'The Grand'. According to Cinema Treasures, the building existed from the 1910s till 1956 until the second generation theatre was built on the same site.

Thank you moddsey, that was a quick reply. I've added a place according to your post.

Sorry Klaus for the problem I have just caused ... I have earlier today edited the second-generation's  title page which now reads "Hong Kong Grand Theatre (Wan Chai).   Please use this link - https://gwulo.com/node/36797 for your main page.  Regards,  Peter
