Good guess with date Klaus…
Good guess with the date Klaus but luckily we can refine it much further.
The mass of posters in the bottom right hand corner includes one of the 1922 American silent movie "Broad Daylight" starring Lois Wilson which was released in the US on 30th October 1922. Good chance this photo in HK was taken in early 1923. A trawl through the local papers will give a more precise date.
Gutzlaff Street & Broad Daylight
Interesting to see the Gutzlaff Street signboard above the posters.
"Broad Daylight" was screened at the World Theatre in mid-July 1923. See: https://digital.library.ln.edu.hk/en/projects/flim/db?query=broad+daylight
