MrB,after looking at the photos carefully,the theatre was certainly the Victory Theatre.

mrb,I have noticed the name of this theatre in the Chinese newspapers of the war years of Hong Kong.Its name neither appeared in the Chinese newspapers before 8th December,1941 nor after the end of WWII.I doubt whether it was the Victory Theatre on the Nathan Road.
