Rose Llanos performing as a snake in serpent costume

Feb. 29 She Lives By Being A Serpent: Half French half Chinese, Rose Llanos, the under five foot under seven stone girl who is nightly thrown about by two hunters who catch her in the Prince of Wales Theatre jungle act, likes to get away to practise her serpent-like movements in the park. Taught to dance and contort her body as early as two years of age by her aunt, she was earning her living at 14, on the continent. She has never been to England before but loves it now she is here. Her skin-tight serpent dress only lasts a couple of weeks because of the friction as she is swung against the stage floor. She studied the movements of the snakes in various zoos, and today finds a strange fascination in imitating them. So don't be surprised if you meet a modern Eve, or serpent, when off wandering in the Park. The Serpent In The Park: Rose Llanos, whose amazing contortions during her act at the Prince of Wales Theatre require constant fitness and practice, often sneaks away to a quiet corner of the park to think up new ways of converting herself into her role
