EDITORS COMMENTS
Play-time at the Piccadilly: Piccadilly Revels - A New Cabaret Show in the Heart of London (1924) The London season may have come to an end, but the excitement and allure of cabaret entertainment continued to draw crowds to the Piccadilly Hotel. In this photograph from the Illustrated London News, we see the cast of the new cabaret show, "Piccadilly Revels," ready to entertain their eager audience. Miss Zelia Raye (top left), a renowned choreographer, oversaw the arrangements for the dances, ensuring each performance was a visual and rhythmic delight. The costumes, designed by the talented Dolly Tree (Dolly Tree, not pictured), added a touch of glamour and sophistication to the proceedings. Evelyn Puxon (second from left), Decilia Mobray (third from left), Rose De Corbett (fourth from left), Lillian Bond (fifth from left), and other talented singers and dancers, were ready to captivate the audience with their jazz-infused performances. The variety of acts, from singing to dancing, promised an unforgettable night of entertainment. The popularity of cabaret shows in the mid-1920s was at an all-time high, and the Piccadilly Revels was no exception. The age of the Roaring Twenties was a time of liberation and self-expression, and the cabaret scene reflected this cultural shift. With its lively performances and vibrant atmosphere, the Piccadilly Revels offered a taste of the excitement and glamour that defined the era. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of cabaret entertainment and the role it played in shaping the cultural landscape of the 1920s. From the choreography of Miss Zelia Raye to the stunning costumes designed by Dolly Tree, every detail of the Piccadilly Revels was meticulously crafted to provide an unforgettable experience for its audience.
