Untitled (Yul Brynner and Mary Martin)

A black and white photo depicting a theatrical performance with actors in traditional Asian costumes on stage. Two central figures appear to be performing, with one gesturing expressively. The stage is adorned with cultural decorations, including a large hanging chandelier and various fabrics. The audience is partially visible in the foreground, suggesting a live theater setting.
