We received the following message from Wakunakuni on FB:
Kitano Kaikan is said to be the current Kamishichiken Kaburenjo (Song and Dance Practice Hall). Kamishichiken is a town of geiko and teahouses (in Kyoto), and the Song and Dance Practice Hall is a theater facility for dancers. (Checked) but there is no record of a stage performance in September 1953, so it is possible that the venue was just rented out.
Wakunakuni さんからFBにて、下記のメッセージを頂きました:
北野会館とは現在の上七軒歌舞練場のことだそうです。上七軒とは芸妓とお茶屋の街、歌舞練場は舞踊の為の劇場施設らしいのですが、(確認したところ)昭和28年9月に舞台をした記録が無いそうなので、会場を貸出しただけの可能性が。

The handwriting appears the same as the writing on photo no 188.
188番の写真の裏に書かれた文字と同じ直筆のようです。
