[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 :)

This must be a 'still' of the making of the first 'talkie' in Australia. I wonder if the movie still exists?
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Hmm, a quick search of the National Film & Sound Archive yields no results, however, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist!
