Camden People - Sunshine Dragonette

SUNSHINE DRAGONETTE was a Camden girl who, having been trained at an early age in voice and dance, was featured in many local productions in the 1930s.

While I have a pretty good idea as to her real name and identity, I'm not 100% sure, so if anyone knows anymore about here, PLEASE e-mail me.
