Review Quotes:

'[O]ffers a new way of looking at aspects of Australia's national culture history and its place in a broader Empire history [and] offers enormous insights into the work of one of the world's most idiosyncratic figures in what was already a constantly evolving international entertainment industry. [...] Dixon's book is rich in detail and is beautifully assembled, with many telling images.' --Andrew Pike, 'Visual Anthropology'
