EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Mary Leigh exudes the vibrant energy and charisma that made her a standout performer during the Roaring Twenties in London's entertainment scene. The photograph, taken in 1923, captures Mary in her element as she prepared for a performance in the hit revue "Snap" at the prestigious Vaudeville Theatre. With her youthful, expressive face framed by a flapper-style bob, Mary's age belies the depth of her talent and experience. Mary's number in Snap, titled "The Bamboo Babies," was a jazz-infused dance routine that left audiences enchanted and eager for more. The success of her performance in Snap led to an invitation to join the renowned Cabaret Follies at the Queens Hall Roof. The 1920s were a golden age for cabaret and nightclub entertainment in London, and Mary's magnetic stage presence and captivating dance moves quickly made her a popular favorite among audiences. The era's fusion of jazz music, daring performances, and a sense of rebellion against societal norms resonated deeply with the public, and Mary was at the forefront of this cultural movement. As she gracefully poses for the camera, Mary's eyes gleam with the excitement and anticipation of another sold-out performance. The photograph is a testament to her unwavering dedication and passion for the art of entertainment, which continued to captivate audiences throughout her storied career. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the world of jazz, dance, and cabaret that defined the 1920s in London, and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Mary Leigh and her contributions to the entertainment industry.
