EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the allure and glamour of the Dolly Sisters, Jenny and Rosie Janszka, also known as Rosie and Jenny Roszicka, in their iconic performance in the 1918 show "Oh Look! USA." The sisters, hailing from Hungary, were a sensation in the cabaret scene of the Jazz Age, known for their exotic and seductive style. The sisters' outfits, showcased in this image, are a testament to the fashion trends of the time. They don elegant, form-fitting dresses with intricate beading and fringing, accessorized with feathers and jewels. Their hair is styled in sleek waves, framing their expressive faces. The Dolly Sisters were known for their tandem dancing, a style that was both innovative and captivating. Their dance moves, influenced by the jazz music of the era, were bold and sensual, pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable for women on stage. The title of the sheet music featured in the photograph, "The Vamp," further emphasizes the sisters' exotic and seductive image. The term "vamp" was used to describe women who were bold, seductive, and in control of their sexuality, a far cry from the demure and submissive roles women were expected to play at the time. Despite their age, the Dolly Sisters were considered trailblazers in the world of entertainment, paving the way for future performers and challenging societal norms. Their influence can still be seen in modern dance and fashion, making them an enduring symbol of the Jazz Age and its spirit of innovation and rebellion.
