EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magic and allure of Wilson, Keppel and Betty, a renowned British music hall act, as they mesmerize their audience with their exotic and enchanting performance involving a fantastic dancing snake. Circa 1935, the height of the fashion for Ancient Egyptian imagery following the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, Wilson, Keppel and Betty capitalized on this trend with their famed Sand Dance. Joe Keppel, Jack Wilson, and Betty (one of many Bettys who performed with the duo) are seen here in this signed print, expertly handling the cobra as it gracefully moves from the basket, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the act. The trio's charisma and skill as performers are on full display, transporting their audience to a far-off land of ancient wonders and enchantment. With their elegant costumes and the snake's mesmerizing movements, Wilson, Keppel and Betty created an unforgettable experience for music hall goers, leaving them spellbound and longing for more.
