japanese dentist 1931

This photograph should be form 1931 if I am correct, with the Yee Sang Fat Building built in 1931.

Above the entrance there is a sign ( T. Yamas Japanese Dentist )

Any information on the dentist. Thank you.

The photo shows Wyndham Street from Queen's Road Central. The building on the right is the Hong Kong Club building (1st generation) / Yee Sang Fat Building - IL 16 [1846-1930]. 

The movie advert is for the silent movie The Phantom of the Opera from 1925. This movie was shown on 13-14 September 1926 at the World Theatre. That should be about the date of the photo.

Thank you, Klaus.

Just a question regarding the advertisment of the movie, above the building.

Could the movie have been shown at the Coronet Theatre, the former theatre before King's Theatre, which was located in the Hong Kong Club Building ? Many thanks.

According to our page (https://gwulo.com/node/36218), the Coronet Theatre closed in 1925, before the film was released in Hong Kong - so perhaps this is an advert for another theatre nearby, or an early advert for the film at the Coronet that never got to be shown because the theatre closed. Or perhaps this is shows a rescreening after 1931 when the King's Theatre had already opened?  Was the building (dentist) it was attached to part of the theatre or a neighbouring one? It has quite a distinctive doorway.
