1931 Broadway Glamour Night Life Sheet Tear Texas Cabaret Suckers
EDITORS COMMENTS
Texas Guinan, the Queen of Broadway Cabarets, poses confidently for this striking photograph taken in New York City during the roaring twenties, in 1931. With a seductive smile and piercing gaze, she exudes an air of glamour and allure that made her a sensation in the bustling nightlife scene. Known for her famous phrase "Hello Suckers," Texas ruled over her cabaret with charisma and charm, drawing in audiences with her captivating presence and sultry jazz performances. Born in 1884, Texas Guinan came to New York City as a young woman and quickly made a name for herself in the world of vaudeville and burlesque. But it was in the cabarets of Broadway that she truly shone, becoming a beloved figure of the jazz age. Her tear-streaked cheek and smoky eye makeup, along with her signature feather boa and sequined gown, added to her mystique and helped solidify her status as a style icon of the era. Despite her success, Texas Guinan's life was not without its challenges. She faced criticism from moralists and societal norms of the time, who deemed her and her ilk as immoral and indecent. But Texas remained undeterred, continuing to captivate audiences with her performances and unapologetic attitude. This photograph, taken during her prime, serves as a testament to her enduring legacy and the indomitable spirit of the women who defied convention and redefined the boundaries of entertainment in the 1920s.
