"Chinese chorines make up for the floor show at the Forbidden City. This Oriental night club is less sinful than many tourists expect."
I love surprises. After seeing this photograph reproduced in Trina Robbins' new book, Forbidden City: The Golden Age of Chinese Nightclubs, I tracked down a copy of the magazine it came from (Holiday, July 1948) and found that the original photo was not black and white — as I expected — but full and living color!
