EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1923, three prominent figures of the jazz age and the world of dance come together in an enchanting scene at the Waldorf Hotel in London. The image features Vincent Davico and Gwen Price, a popular dancing duo known for their lively and energetic performances, and Mlle Vera Savina, the wife of renowned Russian ballet dancer and choreographer Leonide Massine, as well as the founder and leader of her own successful ballet company. The photograph captures the essence of the 1920s, an era marked by artistic innovation, cultural experimentation, and the rise of jazz music. The trio exudes an air of sophistication and glamour, with Davico and Price dressed in stylish evening attire, their eyes locked as they dance in perfect harmony. Mlle Savina, with her elegant gown and enchanting smile, stands nearby, adding an aura of mystery and allure to the scene. The photograph was taken during a performance of Zephr, a ballet produced by Mlle Savina's company at the Alhambra Theatre. The production marked a significant moment in the history of dance, as it showcased the fusion of classical ballet and modern jazz influences, reflecting the evolving artistic landscape of the time. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 1920s and the enduring power of dance as a form of artistic expression. It invites us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in the magic of a bygone era, where the rhythm of jazz and the grace of ballet came together to create unforgettable moments of beauty and excitement.
