Australian promotors and showmen Greenlaugh and Jackson brought the American-style sideshow “Down Under” in the late-1920s, 30s and 40s. “Sideshow attractions at the Centennial Exhibition, Lyall Bay 1939, Ephemera Collection, Alexander Turnbull Library, Reference: Eph-C-CABOT-Exhibition-1940-01 Promotions described Mexican Rose as beautiful with a charming personality. She had toured the United States for years, was in Charlie Chaplin’s “Circus days” and appeared in “Our gang” comedies. The Evening Post, for 4 November 1939, Page 10, featured a photograph of Rose having lunch at the Exhibition grounds. Other exhibits brought out for the Exhibition in 1939 were motor cycle speedsters Miss Pat Gamble and Miss Moy Wong, and the Cheung Sze Mun Troupe of Oriental Wonders.” (from http://www.goinwith.com/slideshows/view?query=Ephemera)
