The silent film, "The Eagle's Feather" was screened at the Star Theatre between 29 and 31 October 1925. A partial film title, "Feather" can be seen in a film poster facing Hankow Road.

Date
There is a sign at the side of the theatre reading: Thursday to Saturday October 29 to 31.
This fits to 1925 or 1931. Don't think the photo was taken later.
