EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting allure of the Dolly Sisters, Rosie and Jenny, in the heart of Paris during the Roaring Twenties. Dressed in their stunning costumes from the popular revue "Paris-New York" at the Casino de Paris, the sisters exude an air of glamour and sophistication that defined the Jazz Age. The Dolly Sisters, born in America but raised in Europe, were renowned for their provocative and playful performances that blended music, dance, and comedy. Their act, which included risqué costumes and flirtatious banter with the audience, made them a sensation in the Parisian cabaret scene. The Paris-New York revue, which opened in 1926 and ran for over 2,000 performances, was a groundbreaking production that brought together American jazz music and European cabaret traditions. The show featured an all-star cast of performers, including Josephine Baker, and was a major influence on the development of modern entertainment. In this photograph, Rosie and Jenny pose confidently, their costumes a dazzling display of sequins, feathers, and beads. Their expressive faces and playful poses suggest the energy and excitement of their performances, which captivated audiences night after night. The 1920s were a time of cultural and artistic experimentation, and the Dolly Sisters were at the forefront of this movement. Their performances challenged social norms and pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in entertainment. Today, they remain an iconic symbol of the Jazz Age and a reminder of the power of art to inspire and delight.
