Wyndham Street, Hong Kong

Postcard published by Kelly & Walsh Ltd, Hongkong.

On the back my grandfather writes: "This is quite a typical street scene and quite near the centre of town. Notice the poles of the coolie women and the chairs and rickshaws. The chairs are used to climb the steep streets by lazy people."

Yes, September 1923 would be the correct month and year.

The advertisement for the Star Theatre's film presentation has been ripped apart revealing a previous advertisement for the screening of "The Flirt" at the World Theatre. That film was shown during 12-15 September.

At the Theatre Royal (City Hall), the Forbes Russell Comedy Company with Miss Niqua Lewis was presenting their successful West End shows on the following days:

24 Sep - "Bluebeard's 8th Wife",

26 Sep - "Secrets",

28 Sep - "Windows", 

1 Oct    - "The Dippers"
