Description
Content description from ephemera:
A Chinese opera (each region has its own style, Beijing is the country's official opera form) usually combines song, speech, dance, acting, acrobatics, and hand to hand combat and the mood ranges from slapstick, pantomime, to tragedy.
"The Phoenix Returns to its Nest" was developed by Mei Lanfang - considered one of China's greatest actors, a man who played only women's roles.
Ephemera: Available through the CCDR Collections at Arizona State University. One article about Beijing Opera clipped from the 9/17/84 edition of The Honolulu Advertiser.
