EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1928, the American Lorraine Sisters gracefully pose for the camera, their radiant smiles reflecting the excitement of their recent achievement. Dressed in elegant evening gowns and holding feathers and fan props, the sisters exude an air of sophistication and glamour that belies their humble beginnings in American vaudeville just a year prior. The Lorraine Sisters, consisting of Loretta, Viola, and Anita, were a popular jazz age act who rose to fame with their lively and energetic dance routines, captivating audiences with their infectious spirit and impeccable synchronization. Their act, a blend of music, dance, and comedy, was a staple in variety shows and nightlife establishments across the United States during the 1920s. But the sisters' dreams extended beyond the borders of their homeland. In 1928, they received an offer to perform at the prestigious Casino de Paris in France, the epicenter of European entertainment. This marked a significant milestone in their careers, as they became the first all-American dance act to perform at the famed Parisian venue. The Casino de Paris, known for its lavish productions and world-class entertainers, provided the perfect platform for the Lorraine Sisters to showcase their talents to a European audience. Their performances were met with thunderous applause and critical acclaim, solidifying their status as international stars and setting the stage for their continued success in the world of jazz and dance. This photograph captures a moment in time, a testament to the sisters' journey from the vaudeville halls of America to the grand stages of Paris, and their enduring legacy as trailblazers in the entertainment industry.
