Summary

Meet Ada. A lady dancer, a comedienne and a comic singer and the head of her own travelling troupe, the Ada Delroy Company. Losing her looks but not her touch, waving a morphia cocktail and holding forth from her bed, she's still got silks, sequins, a scrapbook, and the story of her life on the stage and the road. And what a life. Ada was world famous when clairvoyants, cockatoo acts and strongmen toured the world and performed for everyone from royalty to riotous miners and larrikins. But underneath the rouge, the glorious glamour and cheeky wit was the reality of life for a girl who couldn't help being both fabulous and disreputable. As for the story, well, you'll want to hear Ada tell it
