[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 :)

Here we see Marjorie Lucey (nee Rouse) with her daughter Winifred and her father, Kodak Australasia chairman John Rouse. Both Marjorie and daughter Winifred arrived in Sydney on the Sierra on 8th August, 1929.

Marjorie Lucey (b. 1893) was the eldest daughter of Kodak Australasia chairman John Rouse and his wife Anna. Marjorie and her sister Winifred were well known Sydney socialites in the years pre World War I. Marjorie married American engineer William Sylvester Lucey in 1918, after which she lived in the United States. Per the digitised newspapers, she made numerous return visits to Australia in the following decades. I gather Marjorie named her daughter after her sister...
