A selection of mannequins showing the latest costumes from the show, "Chu Chin Chow" which opened at His Majesty's Theatre in 1916 and ran for five years and more than 2,300 performances. The show was one of the major theatrical successes of the First World War and was particularly popular with soldiers on leave due to the scantily-clad slave girls in the cast.
