EDITORS COMMENTS
Lolita Benavente, the 'Queen of the Hoochy-Koochy,' dazzles audiences at the French Casino in New York during the 1934 production of the famous Revue Folies Bergère. In this image, Benavente exudes confidence and allure as she performs in front of an enchanted crowd. The French Casino, located in the heart of Times Square, was a popular destination for jazz age nightlife, offering a unique blend of dining, dancing, and cabaret entertainment. The Revue Folies Bergère, a Parisian institution since 1869, had made its way across the Atlantic Ocean to bring a taste of European sophistication to New York City. Benavente, a native of Puerto Rico, was a prominent figure in the 1930s cabaret scene, known for her mesmerizing dance moves and captivating stage presence. Her performance in the Revue Folies Bergère at the French Casino was a testament to the vibrant and diverse cultural landscape of the era. This evocative photograph, taken in 1934, captures a moment in time when the world seemed to be on the brink of change. The Art Deco decor, elegant costumes, and the infectious energy of the performers and audience members transport us back to an era of glamour, excitement, and innovation. The image is a reminder of the rich history of jazz age nightlife and the enduring allure of the cabaret experience. This photograph is from the personal collection of Clifford Fischer and is part of the extensive archive of historical images available at Mary Evans Prints Online. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of cabaret, nightlife, and the cultural milieu of the 1930s.
