Apparently it is hard to find photos of this theater. Here is a picture of the valley road-chatham road junction. One can see a billboard on the side of the theater. Better than nothing. Note that the bus number 5 was going to TST star ferry terminal.

Another photo showing sky theater. It should be the taller building just north of station lane at the upper right corner of the photo.

Before the Sky theater was built in 1961, the site was occupied by Tai Hing Knitting Factory built in 1925.
