EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston in 1924, showcases the elegant and risqué allure of the Dolly Sisters, Jenny (left) and Rosie Jansieka (nee Roszicka), as they gracefully posed for the camera backstage at the Greenwich Village Follies in New York City. The sisters, who hailed from Hungary, were known for their tandem acts and exotic charm, embodying the spirit of the Jazz Age and captivating audiences with their seductive and sophisticated performances. The sisters' outfits, designed for the Follies, epitomize the fashion trends of the 1920s. Their green costumes, adorned with intricate beading and fringe, accentuate their slender figures and shimmer under the stage lights. The sisters' outfits were not only stylish but also functional, allowing them to dance with ease and grace on the cabaret stage. The Greenwich Village Follies, a popular theatrical revue, was a staple of the New York City entertainment scene in the 1920s. The sisters' performances, filled with jazz and dance numbers, were a hit with audiences and helped to solidify their place as icons of the era. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and glamour, transports us back to a bygone era, where elegance, style, and the allure of the stage came together to create a truly unforgettable experience. Alfred Cheney Johnston's masterful photography captures the sisters' youth, charm, and the essence of the 1920s, making it a must-have for any collection of Jazz Age memorabilia.
