EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the electrifying moment as Oliver and Olivette, two renowned jazz dancers, grace the stage at the Elysee Restaurant in London during the early 1900s. The image, taken in 1915, showcases the duo in their prime, exuding energy and charisma as they perform a lively jazz dance for an enraptured audience. The Elysee Restaurant, later to become the famous Caf de Paris, was a popular cabaret venue in London's West End, known for its vibrant atmosphere and avant-garde entertainment. Oliver and Olivette, with their innovative dance moves and infectious enthusiasm, were among the most sought-after acts of the time. Their performances, which often incorporated elements of African American jazz and vaudeville, brought a new level of excitement to the London stage. As the roaring twenties approached, jazz music and dance began to spread across Europe, and Oliver and Olivette were at the forefront of this cultural revolution. Their youthful energy, agility, and undeniable chemistry made them a sensation, and their performances at the Elysee Restaurant were a must-see for anyone looking for an unforgettable night out. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of jazz music and dance to captivate and inspire, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural history that continues to influence the arts today. With their timeless style and unforgettable performances, Oliver and Olivette remain an integral part of the jazz and cabaret legacy, and their influence can still be felt in theatres and dance floors around the world.
