Kwong Wah Theatre - Front Entrance

The photo was listed as taken in 1982.  Although there were no displays on the outside, I believe it was still operating on that day.

1964 Gala cinema at Argyle Street

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1964

1937 Grand Theater

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 ​?

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1937
