Chung Ling Soo. The Chung Ling Soo Mysteries. London, J. Weiner Ltd., ca. 1918. Half-sheet (20 x 30") color lithograph bearing a bust portrait of Soo in the center of a peacock feather, on a striped pastel background. Linen backed, good condition. After Soo's death, his wife Olive "Dot" Robinson produced a show performing under the stage name "Li Sing Foo" in a show entitled Chung Ling Soo Mysteries. The venture was unsuccessful and short-lived, but occasionally posters such as this one — originally prionted for Soo's use and later overprinted for the Mysteries show — surface in the marketplace.
