The Remarkable
Life of 
Wong Chin Foo

Wong was instrumental in the establishment of Manhattan's first Chinese theatre. He first voiced the idea in 1884, but had to wait nearly a decade to see his dream realized in 1893.

 Wong fell in briefly with the Theosophists in 1877. He met Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Colonel Henry Steel Olcott and gave a talk on Buddhism to their followers in New York.
