EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of the 1920s as we take a peek behind the curtains of the New Oxford Theatre in London, where the Forde Sisters brought the enchanting story of "Little Nellie Kelly" to life. This photograph, taken in 1923, showcases a scene from the production, with the sisters gracefully executing a jazz-infused dance number. The age of flapper fashion is in full swing, as the sisters don dazzling sequin dresses and bobbed haircuts, embodying the youthful spirit of the era. The New Oxford Theatre, located in the heart of the West End, was a hub for innovative and groundbreaking productions during the 1920s. "Little Nellie Kelly," a musical comedy with a book by Paul Gerard Smith and music by Vivian Ellis, was a smash hit, running for over 500 performances. The show's success can be attributed to its unique blend of jazz music, lively dancing, and a heartwarming storyline that resonated with audiences. The Forde Sisters, who were a popular dance act during the 1920s, were the perfect choice to bring the production to life. Their energetic performances and infectious stage presence added an extra layer of excitement to the already captivating show. This photograph is a testament to their talent and the magic they created on the London stage. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to experience the energy and excitement of the 1920s, a decade that continues to captivate us with its unique blend of art, culture, and innovation.
