EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties in New York City, as Mr. Barnett Goodwood and a group of radiant young women take the stage at the Comedy Theatre in 1919. The scene is from the production of 'Fifty, Fifty, Ltd,' a popular jazz comedy that brought excitement and glamour to Broadway. The charismatic Mr. Goodwood, with his charming smile and dapper attire, stands at the center of the image, surrounded by a chorus line of apple-cheeked girls in flapper dresses, their youthful energy and exuberance radiating from the photograph. The girls hold glowing globes, symbolizing the allure and mystery of the nightlife scene that was so intriguing to audiences during this era. The Comedy Theatre, located in the heart of New York City, was a hub of entertainment and innovation during the 1920s. Produced by Charles Dillingham, the show was part of the city's vibrant cultural scene, which was shaped by the influx of jazz music and the emergence of modern dance. This photograph is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of jazz, age, and new beginnings that defined the 1920s in New York City. It is a reminder of the power of live theatre to transport us to another time and place, and to leave us with a sense of wonder and delight.
