Kwong Chee Theatre 廣智戲院 (1968)

Kwong Chee Theatre (1968).  This photo was taken likely in late spring or early fall given the clothings people were wearing.  Movie ads are no longer posted, but it is good to see the original street corner and its both front and side (hence this photo added) views.  The cart load of wicker baskets are heading north on Temple Street.
