Clear blue silk robe embroidered with oriental flower and insect motifs
worn by an unidentified character in the play 'Lady Precious Stream',
Little Theatre, London, 1934.
Victoria & Albert Museum.
The delightful new play at the Little Theatre ‘Lady Precious
Stream’ has a genuineness which [previous Chinese-manner plays]
have lacked; for it is written in English by a Chinese author, S.
I. Hsiung, who has shared with Nancy Price the work of the
production.
