EDITORS COMMENTS
Oh Les Belles Filles" (Oh Those Beautiful Girls) was a popular revue at the Palace Theatre in Paris during the 1920s, and this photograph captures the essence of the show's star attractions, the Dolly Sisters. Rosie and Jenny Dolly, born Isabelle and Marie Dolly, were a pair of American vaudeville performers who rose to fame in Europe as flapper icons and jazz dancers. The sisters' youthful charm and exuberant energy made them a sensation in Parisian cabarets, where they captivated audiences with their lively performances and provocative costumes. In this image, taken in 1923, Rosie and Jenny are seen in their prime, dressed in fashionable flapper attire, complete with short bobbed hair and bejeweled headbands. Their expressive faces and playful poses exude confidence and charisma, reflecting the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. The Palace Theatre, located in the heart of Paris, was a hub of artistic and cultural innovation during this era. "Oh Les Belles Filles" was one of the most successful revues of its time, featuring a cast of talented performers and a score of jazz music that resonated with the young and daring crowds. The photograph captures a moment in history when Paris was the epicenter of modernity and the Dolly Sisters were at the forefront of the entertainment scene. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the 1920s and the iconic status of the Dolly Sisters as symbols of the era's spirit and energy. It invites us to imagine the excitement and glamour of the Palace Theatre and the world of jazz and cabaret that captivated audiences over a century ago.
