EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the allure and elegance of Rosika and Jansci Deutsch, better known as The Dolly Sisters, in 1916. Born in Hungary, the twins emigrated to the United States and quickly rose to fame as two of the most popular dancers in New York City. Their unique act, a single-sex tandem dance, mesmerized audiences with its exotic and theatrical flair. The sisters' costumes, adorned with sequins and feathers, add to their mystique and glamour. The intricate detailing and vibrant colors reflect the opulence of the early 20th century vaudeville stage. The twins' expressions suggest a playful and confident stage presence, hinting at the captivating performances they delivered night after night. The Dolly Sisters' success came during a time when dance was a major form of entertainment, and their act pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable for women on stage. Their innovative choreography and sultry performances made them icons of the era, and their influence can still be seen in modern dance and cabaret performances today. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of vaudeville and the extraordinary talents of Rosika and Jansci Deutsch, The Dolly Sisters.
