EDITORS COMMENTS
This page from the November 19, 1920 issue of The Tatler showcases the enchanting Dolly Sisters, Rosie and Daisy, in their first London revue, Jig-saw, at the prestigious Hippodrome. The top photograph captures the sisters in their elegant costumes, exuding charm and allure, as they prepare for their performance. The bottom two photographs offer a glimpse into the sisters' act, featuring their dance partner, Laddie Cliff, during their popular number, the Pony Trot. Clad in dapper attire, Laddie holds the reins of the sisters, who don playful, equestrian-inspired outfits, complete with top hats and boots. The sisters' synchronization and playful banter with Laddie made this dance a crowd favorite. Albert de Courville, a renowned photographer, captured these moments, immortalizing the Dolly Sisters' infectious energy and charisma on film. The sisters' unique blend of humor, dance, and song made them a sensation in the London theatre scene, and their revue, Jig-saw, was a must-see entertainment event of the era. The Dolly Sisters' performances at the Hippodrome marked a significant moment in the history of British variety and cabaret, and their influence can still be felt in modern-day entertainment. This page from The Tatler offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the sisters' undeniable appeal and the excitement of the London stage during the Roaring Twenties.
