Strong - Jack and Pat LaBelle

Collector/curator's description reads: “C. 1925, Vancouver. This image was part of a set of promotional photographs taken in the 1920s of Jack Strong with a female performer, likely his girlfriend Pat LaBelle. Although of average height and weight, Strong was renowned for his strength and wrestling skills. He ran a traveling vaudeville show called the Jack Strong's Wonder Novelty Show. Vaudeville was popular entertainment in the late 19th and early 20th century and included wrestlers, singers, dancers, comedians and magicians. Strong lived until age 76. However, Pat who was billed as a ‘female Houdini,’ was killed in an automobile accident in 1930. She was only 23. This is one of a series of four photos taken the same day.”
