[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Fascinating! A flapper in our collection! Fantastic quasymody :) There's another blog there for sure. Interesting, that newspaper report saying she was Chinese, must have been them just assuming that was the case and getting it wrong. Wish we had a film like the Anna Chang one. I wonder where the Anna Chang one came from anyway. So exciting that I have been distracted for the past hour doing my own searches :)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Hmmm, I get the sense that was their promo tactic. Unless of course she really was well known, and the records about her just haven't been digitised...Although I can't help but feel if she really was such a raging success, wouldn't the Australian newspapers have given her more of a mention?

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] I think it must be her, after all, how many Japanese flappers did they have on that one ship at that particular time? I love the risque element to it all, what a fascinating discovery :)

The 1926 RR in the foreground was owned by William Szarka of Stanmore, Sydney. He owned several theatres such as the Enmore. The car was reg'd 180-944 and the chassis nb was 61SC, coachbuilt by Windovers in the UK.
