EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Dolly Sisters, Jenny Janszka (left) and Rosie Roszicka, in their Max Weldy-designed costumes for their iconic number, "League of Notions," performed at the London Hippodrome Theatre in 1921. The sisters, of Hungarian descent, were renowned for their exotic allure and innovative dance routines that blended jazz and vaudeville elements. In this image, the Dolly Sisters exude glamour and style as they pose in their striking outfits. Jenny wears a shimmering gold dress with intricate beading and a feather headdress, while Rosie dons a red velvet gown adorned with sequins and a matching feather boa. The sisters' tandem performance, featuring their canine companions dubbed "Collies," added an extra layer of entertainment to their act. The fashion of the 1920s was characterized by its boldness and experimentation, and the Dolly Sisters embodied this spirit with their daring costumes and energetic performances. Their "League of Notions" number was a highlight of the cabaret scene, showcasing their flair for the theatrical and their ability to captivate audiences with their charisma and talent. Max Weldy, a leading costume designer of the era, crafted these stunning outfits for the sisters, further elevating their on-stage presence and reinforcing their status as trailblazers of the Jazz Age. This photograph is a testament to the sisters' enduring influence on fashion, entertainment, and the cultural landscape of the 1920s.
