EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the golden age of American entertainment with this advertisement from 1925. The image features a young girl named Alice Higgie from Chicago, who made an impressive $75 a week performing in vaudeville shows during the summer of 1924. The secret to her success? The easy-to-play Wurlitzer saxophone, which is displayed prominently in the photograph. Vaudeville was a popular form of live entertainment in the United States during the early 20th century, featuring a variety of acts including musicians, comedians, acrobats, and magicians. Young Alice's talent and the Wurlitzer saxophone captured the attention of audiences and brought her financial success. The advertisement invites viewers to send for a free book, suggesting that they too could learn to play the saxophone and potentially follow in Alice's footsteps. The use of the tagline "Girl of 13 makes $75 a week!" highlights the potential for financial gain and the idea that anyone, regardless of age, could achieve success with the right instrument. This advertisement offers a glimpse into the history of American music and the cultural significance of vaudeville during the 1920s. The image of a young girl, a saxophone, and the promise of financial reward all come together to create a compelling and nostalgic scene.
