Description
Magician Chan Loo (Frank Chan) holds a bucket as he smiles at his young assistant, a girl, Lily Mu, with ringlets and a large bow in her hair. A young woman in the background smiles as she looks at them. All are dressed in embroidered Chinese costumes and appear to be on a stage with flags as backdrop.
