'In 1939 my mom would have been recently arrived from Shanghai on one of the last boats before the Japanese invasion closed the harbor. The eldest of 13, she then attended Colby College, then got the ISA from Wellesley and PhD from Radcliffe. Her oral history is in the archives of CHSNE. This photo was staged, one of two I have from this shoot by Margaret Crosby Schmidt. The stamp on the back of one of them says Crosby Design, 75 Pratt Street, Room 203, Hartford 3, Conn, Tel 5-88671. I don't think the costumes belonged to her. Pictured: my mom Aili S. Chin. Location: New London Players Theater.'
