EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting presence of Dorma Leigh, a British stage performer, in the role of 'The Whirligig' at the Palace Theatre in London during the year 1920. Dorma's expressive face is illuminated by the soft glow of the stage lights as she gracefully twirls, her elaborate headdress of beads and feathers a dazzling contrast against the dark backdrop. The intricately designed headdress, adorned with an abundance of feathers and shimmering beads, sits atop her short bobbed hair, a popular hairstyle of the era. Dorma's theatrical costume is equally impressive, with layers of flowing fabric and intricate patterns that add to the mystique of her character. The beads and feathers continue as a theme throughout her clothing, creating a cohesive and visually stunning performance. Her graceful movements and theatrical attire are a testament to the artistry and creativity of the time, making this photograph a captivating glimpse into the world of entertainment during the 1920s. Dorma Leigh was a talented stage performer and actress, known for her captivating performances and unique sense of style. This photograph, taken during her run in 'The Whirligig,' showcases her artistry and the elaborate costumes and makeup that were an essential part of the theatrical experience during this era. The photograph is a beautiful reminder of the magic and wonder that could be found on the stages of London's Palace Theatre and beyond during the 1920s.
