SPEAKER_03: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan and this is Womanica. This month we're talking about movers and shakers, dancers, stunt women, martial artists, and other pioneering women who've used their physical prowess to shake things up. Today we're talking about a globe trotting explorer and filmmaker who traveled around the world, literally. She drove across countries most of her contemporaries would never see in their lifetimes and documented her expeditions on film to bring them back home. Her escapades earned her the title of the world's most widely traveled woman. Please welcome Aloha Wanderwell. Though her travels would take her around the world, Aloha's story began quaintly. As a young girl named Idris, growing up in Salmon Arm, British Columbia. She was born on October 13th, 1906 and spent her early days reading adventure novels. The fantastic tales of lands around the globe inspired her to dream of a life outside of Canada. When Idris' stepfather died in action during World War I, her mother moved the family to Europe and enrolled her daughters in a convent school in France. Even across the Atlantic, Idris felt stifled by her new surroundings. The six foot tall, self-described tomboy had little interest in learning how to be a proper young lady. Instead, Idris dreamt of adventure. She wanted to fly into headstrong winds and sleep under a canopy of stars, not sit in a dusty old schoolroom all day. In 1922, her wanderlust would become a reality. One day, 16-year-old Idris was looking through the newspaper when she came across an eye-catching ad. Brains, beauty, and breeches, it read, world tour offer for lucky young woman. It called for a good-looking, brainy young lady prepared to rough it in Asia and Africa. Incidentally, that same young woman should be ready to forswear skirts and marriage for at least a few years. Idris could hardly reply quickly enough. The ad was taken out by Captain Walter Wanderwell, a Polish traveler, hiker, and co-founder of the Work Around the World Educational Club. The club was founded as a way to promote world peace in a post-war world and fund Walter's travels. Walter competed against other teams in an international car race. The goal was to log the most miles worldwide, selling souvenirs and holding movie screenings along the way. Walter needed a secretary, a jack of all trades who was scrappy enough to keep pace. It was exactly the job Idris was hoping for. With her mother's blessing, Idris joined Walter on the road as Aloha Wanderwell, a stage name cobbled together from a childhood moniker and Walter's own surname. With a new image and a new calling, Aloha hopped in Walter's Ford Model T and sped off. She drove the Wanderwell crew across the French countryside, waded through political upheavals in Italy and Germany, and camped at the foot of the Sphinx in Egypt. She trekked the Sudanese desert, tussled with bandits, and even became an honorary colonel in the USSR. Every step of the way, Aloha documented each detail of their trip, appearing both in front of and behind the camera. In February of 1925, during a visit to California, Aloha and Walter were married. The couple would go on to have two children together. While in California, Aloha began to refine her editing skills. She'd recut and create new narration for her films depending on the audiences she'd be lecturing to. Over time, she took on more roles in her own production process. In December of 1927, Aloha drove through France once again, and in doing so, she became the first woman to drive around the globe. Since first hitting that gas pedal in 1922, she'd traveled 380,000 miles across six continents, all by the time she was 22 years old. At the end of the trip, Aloha and Walter compiled all of the footage and released their first full documentary called with car and camera around the world. For their next expedition, Aloha and Walter voyaged to the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. While there, they filmed the ceremonial dances and customs of the Baroro people. Aloha used footage from this trip in three of her films, including her only theatrically released sound film, The River of Death.
SPEAKER_02: The battle of the elements was reflected in the turmoil of spirit and the wild beating of our hearts as we looked forward in great anticipation to our adventure in the jungles of South America. The storm abated, and soon we were steaming on to Rio de Janeiro.
SPEAKER_03: In hopes of continuing their travels, the Wanderwels purchased a schooner named Karma, but this would prove to be Walter's final adventure. According to newspapers at the time, just before the boat was to embark, a stranger in a long gray coat climbed aboard. Moments after, Walter was shot. Several suspects were questioned, including Aloha, but the murder remains unsolved to this day. A media firestorm surrounded the trial, but fizzled soon after.
SPEAKER_03: Just a year out from Walter's death, Aloha married another Walter, Walter Baker, a gas station attendant. The two would travel together and collaborate on all of Aloha's future films. Her last films include To See the World by Car and Explorers of the Purple Sage, which featured the only known footage of desert dust, a famed wild stallion. In 1939, she published a memoir titled Call to Adventure. Aloha began to wind down her lectures as she got older. She dedicated the rest of her life to preserving her films, sending many to various organizations, including the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In June of 1996, Aloha passed away in Newport Beach, California. She was 89 years old. By the time of her death, Aloha had faded into obscurity. But the Academy Film Archive and the Library of Congress were able to obtain, restore, and preserve her films. The films are stored in the Aloha Wanderwell Baker Film Collection and are available for viewing for a new generation of adventurers. All month, we're talking about movers and shakers.
