She carefully collected a wide range of items relating to her career including posters, playbills, newspaper cuttings, hooks and pulleys, printing blocks and costume.  Born in Suffolk, England, Pansy Chinery began her career with The Zedora Sisters, billed as Alar the Flying Arrow. The troupe went on tour with Barnum and Bailey's Circus for their 1897 tour, when she was shot from a giant crossbow high above the circus ring.\r\n\r\nLater she performed on the variety stage, touring mostly in England with troupes called The Mars Trio, Leighton & Lindford, and Ritz and Ritz and The Uniques, specialising in comic acrobatic and gymnastic acts. Like all popular Variety acts in the early 19th century, the troupes had a gruelling schedule, appearing widely in Variety theatres across the country. They were usually booked at each theatre for a week, and travelled on Sundays.\n\nThe novelty of talking pictures and early cinema meant that this was increasingly a feature of Variety programmes, and that Variety acts were added to 'Picture House' programmes.","physicalDescription":"Letterpress-printed poster or playbill in red and blue typeface on cream paper advertising the cinema and Variety programme at the Corona Picture Hall, Felling, for the week beginning Monday 13 January 1913.
