General notes

Lola Hunt came to the Antipodes in 1910 as one of the 'Two Roman Maids' in Jules Garrison's Vaudeville Company. A specialist ragtime singer with a 'Yankee-Yorkshire drawl' she secured a lead role in George Marlow's 1914 pantomime Babes in the Wood before joining the Fuller's circuit. During her ten years with the firm she appeared in vaudeville, musical comedies, revusicals and pantomime, while also touring with companies led by Walter Johnson, Harry Burgess, Nat Phillips and Claude Dampier. After returning home in 1925 Hunt worked in theatre and film up until at least the mid-1940s. Source: Australian Variety Theatre.
