EDITORS COMMENTS
Grace Christie, a captivating dancer of the 1920s, is elegantly poised in this striking portrait taken backstage at the New Oxford Theatre in London during the run of Charles Cochran's League of Notions in 1921. In this iconic image, Christie is shown mid-performance of her signature bubble dance, a jazz-infused routine that left audiences in awe. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age, was a time of cultural revolution, and the dance world was no exception. Grace Christie was a leading figure in this movement, bringing her unique style and energy to the London stage. With her expressive face, graceful movements, and the shimmering bubbles that surrounded her, Christie embodied the spirit of the era. This photograph, taken during a pivotal moment in her career, is a testament to her talent and the enduring legacy of jazz dance in the early 20th century." "The portrait captures the essence of the 1920s, with its bold colors, dramatic lighting, and the sense of excitement and innovation that defined the era. The backdrop of the New Oxford Theatre, a prominent venue for live entertainment in London during this time, adds to the historical significance of the image. The portrait is a valuable addition to any collection of jazz age history, dance history, or the history of London's vibrant cultural scene." "Grace Christie's bubble dance was a highlight of Charles Cochran's League of Notions, a variety show that featured an array of musical, comedic, and dance acts. The show ran from October 1921 to January 1922 and was a major success, playing to packed houses and receiving critical acclaim. This portrait is a rare glimpse into the world of the London stage during this exciting time and a tribute to the talent and artistry of Grace Christie, a true icon of the 1920s dance scene.
