Henry, Sheldon Spar. S.S. Henry?s Color Changing Robe. Vintage Chinese robe with elaborate hand-stitched crane and flower motif on a blue field, which changes to a bright crimson robe accented with a multitude of tiny mirrors and a feather pattern. Used in the Chautauqua and Lyceum show of Henry. Originally in the collection of the Egyptian Hall of Brentwood, TN, and retaining the inventory tag which states, ?Original S.S. Henry Color Changing Robe donated by Mrs. Bill Kinnard, 1967.? Many snags and small tears, but still an attractive vintage robe from the show of a well-traveled performer. Bill Kinnard served as an assistant on the Henry show for eight years.
