Broadway Carl Cohan Dickson Dorothy Harris Hyson Nightlife Vagabond

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare to be transported back in time to the roaring twenties on a magical night at the Cohan & Harris Theatre in New York City. In this scene from the second act of The Royal Vagabond, star Dorothy Dickson (1897-1992) captivates the audience with her mesmerizing performance. Accompanied by the lively rhythms of jazz, she dances with grace and exuberance alongside Carl Hyson (1894-1963). The Royal Vagabond, a musical comedy, premiered on Broadway in 1919 and quickly became a sensation, thanks in large part to the electrifying performances of its leading stars. The production marked a significant moment in the history of American theatre and nightlife, as the 1920s ushered in a new era of entertainment that celebrated modernity, freedom, and the irresistible allure of jazz music. This photograph, taken during a performance at the Cohan & Harris Theatre, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the excitement and energy of a bygone era.
