Paris Sans Voiles
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Paris Unveiled) was a groundbreaking revue that premiered at the prestigious Ambassadeurs Theatre in Paris in 1923. This leaflet cover, designed by the renowned artist Charles Gesmar, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the excitement and allure of the production. The image features two dazzling flapper sisters, Rosie and Jenny, dressed in the height of 1920s fashion. Their bobbed hair, smoky eyes, and daringly short dresses were a radical departure from the traditional norms of the time. The sisters are surrounded by a lively scene of jazz musicians, dancers, and cabaret patrons, all lost in the moment of the music. The title of the revue, "Paris Sans Voiles" (Paris Unveiled), is prominently displayed at the top of the leaflet, hinting at the raw and unfiltered experience that awaited audiences at the Ambassadeurs Theatre. The tagline, "Le Roi est mort, Vive le Roi!" (The King is dead, long live the King!), suggests that the old order was being replaced by something new and vibrant. Charles Gesmar's artwork masterfully captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties, a time of artistic and cultural revolution. The use of bold colors, dynamic angles, and expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of energy and excitement that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the Parisian cabaret scene. This leaflet cover is not only a historical document of a pivotal moment in the history of Parisian cabaret, but also a testament to the enduring allure of the jazz age. The image of Rosie and Jenny, with their modern attitudes and daring fashion, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
