EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover of The Sketch magazine, dated 1915, showcases the enigmatic French actress and music hall artiste, Gaby Deslys, in the role of Lady Lil from J.M. Barrie's burlesque, Rosy Rapture. Known for her extravagant stage costumes, Deslys' unadorned appearance on this cover is a rare and intriguing departure from her usual image. The first World War was in full swing during this period, and entertainment played a significant role in providing relief and distraction for the public. Deslys' popularity soared during this time, and she graced numerous covers of magazines like The Sketch, often adorned in feathers and pearls. However, in Rosy Rapture, she shed her usual glamour, offering a glimpse into her versatility as an actress. The burlesque was a popular show during the war years, and Deslys' performance as Lady Lil was a highlight of the revue. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the history of entertainment during the early 20th century, a time when theatres and music halls provided a much-needed escape from the harsh realities of the First World War. Deslys' ability to captivate audiences with her talent and charisma, even without her signature costumes, is a testament to her enduring appeal and the power of the performing arts to transport and delight.
