Achtung Admiralspalast Alice Berlin Haller Herman Nightlife Revue Welle Cabaret Steffi
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties in Berlin, as depicted in Herman Haller's revue "Achtung! Welle" (Attention! Wave) at the Admiralspalast Theater in 1926. The image showcases three of the production's most renowned performers: Alice Hechy, Aceada Charkouie, and Steffi Bissing. Alice Hechy, the elegant woman in the center, was a popular jazz singer and dancer, known for her sultry voice and captivating stage presence. Born in 1898, she began her career in the early 1920s and quickly rose to fame in Berlin's vibrant nightlife scene. Her performance style was a fusion of American jazz and European cabaret, making her a favorite among audiences. To the left, we see Aceada Charkouie, a dancer and chorus girl, whose exotic appearance and electrifying energy brought a touch of the exotic to the revue. Her origins are unclear, but her stage name suggests a connection to Africa, adding to the allure of the production. Steffi Bissing, the young woman on the right, was a talented comedian and actress. Born in 1902, she began her career in the theater and soon found success in the cabaret scene. Her quick wit and comedic timing made her a beloved figure in Berlin's entertainment world. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the groundbreaking nature of the revues produced at the Admiralspalast during the 1920s. These productions pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in entertainment, often featuring provocative themes, risqué costumes, and daring performances. The image of Hechy, Charkouie, and Bissing embodies the spirit of this era, a time of artistic freedom, innovation, and hedonistic pleasure.
