The fact that he got shot was only part of what astonished the audience that day. You see, directly after, Soo- a man who’d spent his entire career working in silence or through translators, and long claimed he understood no language except Chinese- exclaimed in perfect English, “I’ve been shot! Bring down the curtain!” Want the text version?: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2020/05/the-bizarre-and-magical-feud-between-chung-ling-soo-and-ching-ling-foo/ Sources: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Ogf7CwAAQBAJ&pg=PA254&dq=chung+ling+soo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiM94StqZHaAhVKDcAKHUDeAoAQ6AEIUDAJ#v=onepage&q=chung%20ling%20soo&f=false https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=WdWwBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA188&dq=chung+ling+soo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiVmZizqZHaAhVRa8AKHUpeAY84ChDoAQg3MAM#v=onepage&q=chung%20ling%20soo&f=false https://www.theguardian.com/music/2006/jun/09/classicalmusicandopera1 https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=hYQ7DgAAQBAJ&pg=PA229&lpg=PA229&dq=vaudeville+circuit+robinson+man+of+mystery&source=bl&ots=LsVxqni4Y5&sig=ybJ2hwKdUCeqqkATZE9Dnoka8dI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj_4uiNrpHaAhXqBsAKHaNmDQAQ6AEITTAI#v=onepage&q=vaudevil
