Music and images from Joseph P. Mawra’s White Slaves of Chinatown (1964). Music by The Johnny Staccato Band: Strip Blues. White Slaves of Chinatown is Mr. Mawra’s second chapter in the Olga series; the follow up to Olga’s House of Shame (1964). Evidently, Strip Blues is also used prominently in Michael Findlay’s The Curse of her Flesh (1968). In Curse the piece of music is played during stripper/burlesque performer Cindy Freemont’s act. I was very tempted to use images from Ms. Freemont’s fabulously frisky performance but since I already made a slideshow with images from The Curse of her Flesh I decided to show Mr. Mawra’s White Slaves of Chinatown a little love.
