20785Very good. Original photograph 4x5.5 inches mounted on 6x8 inch board with decorative border and printed captions. Credited on the mount to Dexter McKeesport PA. Ca. 1900. Doranto was one of several actors in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries regularly performed Chinese impersonations in traveling variety shows. Claiming to have studied Chinese language and culture from a young age he performed across the United States and in Canada Australia and New Zealand dressing in Chinese costume playing "discordant melodies from strange-looking musical instruments" according to comedian Fred Allen who encountered him on a ship and billing himself as "the human xylophone." He played the Chinese fiddle the Chinese banjo and Chinese guitar instruments that one Australian reviewer called "bizarre" remarking that one of them resembled a flower pot with a saucepan handle. This is probably a reference to an erhu which is shown in this photograph. Doranto's audiences-most of whom had likely never encountered an actual Chinese person-may have thought the apparently dreadful sounds he made were authentic Chinese. An Australian reviewer commented that "to enjoy Doranto's music to the utmost you should have almond-shaped eyes and a pigtail at least 3 ft 6 inches long. It is the real stuff as the saying is and probably just as acceptable to the wooable Chinese maid as the guitar is to the amorous Spanish beauty." According to Fred Allen the "human xylophone" aspect of his act was saved for the finale when he "caused alleged melodies to emerge from his mouth as the result of spanking his false teeth with two short sticks while manipulating his orifice." Our searches of OCLC and other sources have turned up no other examples of this photograph or any other of Doranto whose real name alas we do not know. unknown books

This 1940 album produced on the 140th anniversary of the regiment was a crucial time for the military in Argentina with the country officially neutral but much influenced by the German military. The Regiment was led by General Ambrosio Vago first photograph a supporter of the Allies who had refused to take part in the coup of 1930 though at this time was urging a new coup along with a number of Axis-leaning officers to oust President Ramón Castillo with the goal of holding non-fraudulent elections. But it would be Peron who would lead the coup in 1943 with Vago though ostensibly a Peronist not participating and exiled to Bahia Blanca. A rare photographic record of the Argentinean military before Peron's ascendancy.
