CHUNG LING SOO. Incredible Chinese-style costume used by Chung Ling Soo. Richly embroidered with a number of golden dragons set amongst a highly detailed celestial cloud pattern on dark blue silk, with a light blue silk lining; small portion of embroidery frayed. Accompanied by a life-size outline drawing of the physical dimensions of Suee Seen, used by illusion builders so they would know how large an illusion was necessary to physically accommodate her. Robe is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity issued by Cyril Critchlow, Director of the Queens Theatre Museum. Circa 1910
