Notes |
Cole arrived in Australia as a young man and worked in the country. He started in showbusiness as a lecturer, calling himself "the Bohemian" and giving presentations on various topics. He later joined the company of Texas Jack, an American showman in the Buffalo Bill mould. He established the Bohemian Dramatic Company, which toured the country performing shows. At its height, the company included over 60 performers and 20 horses, and was transported in its own train. In 1910 and 1911 Cole made a series of films adapted from his shows. They were sometimes screened accompanied by lectures and songs.
