A concert announcement with a studio portrait of the soprano Eleanor Steber of the Metropolitan Opera, in Chinese and English. It announces her recital at International House on March 22. The tell is transfer: the standing of a Metropolitan Opera singer is attached to the American cultural programme the sheet advertises, though the sheet contains no argument.
