EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, titled "Dolly Sisters" and created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916, offers a glimpse into the world of the famous Hungarian-American vaudeville and burlesque dance duo, Dolly Sisters. The sisters, Janka Deutsch (left) and Rosie Deutsch (right), are seen here in their colorful and intricately beaded costumes, adorned with glass beads, embroidery, and jewellery. Their clothing, which includes beaded hats and long, flowing dresses, was a defining aspect of their act, showcasing their unique and exotic appeal. The sisters, who were also known as Dolly Jenny, Dolly Rosie, Dolly Yansci, and Dolly Sisters, were a popular sensation in the early 20th century, entertaining audiences with their singing, dancing, and comedic performances. Their act was a fusion of Hungarian and American culture, and their costumes were a reflection of their heritage and the fashion trends of the time. This photograph, which is a half-length portrait taken in black and white, captures the sisters in a candid and intimate moment, revealing their playful and engaging personalities. The image is a testament to the rich history of performing arts in America during the 1910s and the enduring legacy of the Dolly Sisters. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress and is a valuable addition to the history of both photography and entertainment.
