YU LI SAN, Spain.
Title: Yu Li San
Scene depicts the hypnotist and mentalist Yu Li San wearing red lipstick and looking up as if calling the spirits, the image in blue-green and yellow tones against a red and blue starry background, the stylised title text in oriental lettering above and on a black background below. Yu Li San performed with Professor Alba, but there were two Albas. There was the senior Professor Alba, whose real name was Manola Alba (1894-1950). Then there was his son, Paulo Alba, who also performed as Professor Alba. It was the son whose posters are so well known and who toured for 17 years with the show after his father died. He toured the show until his own death in 1967. Yu Li San did her mentalism act with the second Professor Alba.
