EDITORS COMMENTS
Annette Kellerman, the 'Mermaid of Australia,' graces the stage of the iconic Hippodrome Theatre in New York City during the roaring 1920s. In this photograph, Kellerman, dressed in a shimmering sequin costume, exudes an aura of glamour and allure as she performs a jazz dance number. The Hippodrome Theatre, known for its extravagant productions and cutting-edge entertainment, was the perfect venue for Kellerman's energetic and innovative acts. Born in 1887 in Australia, Kellerman was a pioneer in the world of swimming and aquatic performance. She rose to fame after defying societal norms by wearing a form-fitting bathing suit in public, which led to her being arrested on a Boston beach in 1907. This controversy only fueled her career, and she went on to tour the world as a swimming sensation and vaudeville performer. By the 1920s, Kellerman had transitioned to the stage, where she continued to push boundaries with her daring and provocative performances. Her act at the Hippodrome Theatre, which featured jazz music and modern dance moves, was a hit with audiences. The 1920s were a time of great change and excitement in New York City, and the Hippodrome Theatre was at the heart of it all, offering a glimpse into the city's vibrant nightlife and entertainment scene. This photograph captures a moment in history, showcasing the charisma and energy of Annette Kellerman as she captivated audiences at the Hippodrome Theatre in the 1920s.
