The Old Cinema Empire !
(Addis Ababa, Ethiopia)
~ by Hénock Gugsa ~

Cinema Empire (አምፒር) at the Piazza ! [Addis Ababa prior to the 1970's]
~ Monument statue of the Emperor in front, bottom right ! ...

    the little, triangle-shaped space (ትንሽዋ የታጠረችዋ ትራያንግል )
~ The main feature, obviously a western (a cowboy movie) ...
    I think it was "The Sheepman" with Glenn Ford !! 🤠
