Transcription: "Dancer's costume is made of fine rayon knit (or fabric with some stretch). This fabric should be doubled (not bag lined). Costume was designed by Madame Mao and contains very stylized rents and holes (these need to be reinforced). Trousers can have elastic waist and dance suspenders. Top is based on traditional Chinese jacket. Dancer wears flesh-colored tights (slippery and shiny) and pink toe shoes. Her make up slightly exaggerated: eye brows and eyes.", "PRINCIPLE DANCER", "CHING HUA", "ACT 2/2" written on mounting paper.
