The Keystone Cops and also the serial such as Pearl White in the "Perils of Pauline" which this writer also recalls well and the pursuit by the villain and the "to be continued next week" caption at the most dramatic moment.
When W.W.1. commenced in 1914 Audrey was sent to the Bradleys at Kybybolite in the south-east, and she attended a one teacher school, one roomed too.

She commented that Eva and her brothers had to walk two miles to school at Strathalbyn, that they were never bored and did their chores and made their own amusements in a time when T.V. and even radio had not been invented. Sometimes they were late for school and got into trouble even though they had been rescuing lost lambs and returning them to the mothers.
