EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the allure and excitement of the Roaring Twenties as embodied by the legendary Dolly Sisters, Rosie and Jenny, in their prime at the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic in New York City, 1916. The sisters, known for their vivacious energy and jazz-infused performances, were pioneering figures in the world of cabaret and burlesque, pushing the boundaries of social norms and entertaining audiences with their flirtatious and daring acts. The Midnight Frolic, produced by the renowned impresario Florenz Ziegfeld, was a groundbreaking revue that showcased the latest in music, dance, and fashion. Held at the New Amsterdam Theatre, the production featured a star-studded cast and set the standard for the modern Broadway musical. Rosie and Jenny Dolly, dressed in their glamorous and revealing costumes, exude confidence and charisma in this image. Their bobbed hair, smoky eyes, and provocative poses were emblematic of the flapper era, a time of liberation and self-expression for women. The sisters' electrifying performances at the Midnight Frolic helped to solidify their status as icons of the Jazz Age and continue to inspire generations of performers and audiences alike. This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the history of American entertainment and the cultural shifts that defined the 1920s. The Dolly Sisters' legacy as trailblazers in cabaret and their electrifying performances at the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic continue to captivate and entertain audiences today.
