EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases an iconic moment from the early days of cabaret entertainment, featuring the renowned Dolly Sisters, Jenny (left) and Rosie (right), in their stunning outfits for the Tango Dance from The Merry Countess. The sisters, hailing from Hungary, rose to fame in the United States during the Jazz Age, captivating audiences with their tandem performances and exotic allure. In this image, the Dolly Sisters are seen posing with Martin Brown, the composer of The Merry Countess, as they promote the sheet music for the popular Tango Dance. Jenny dons a shimmering, form-fitting gown with intricate beading and a low-cut neckline, while Rosie's ensemble includes a voluminous, layered skirt and a fitted, sequined top. Their outfits, embodying the glamour and style of the era, are complemented by their elaborate hairstyles and bold makeup. The Merry Countess, a Hungarian-themed revue, opened at the New York Theatre in 1912, and the Dolly Sisters' performances were a major draw for audiences. Their unique blend of jazz, cabaret, and exotic dance styles made them trailblazers in the entertainment industry and set the stage for future generations of performers. This photograph is a testament to the age of glamour and excitement that defined the early 20th century, and the Dolly Sisters' enduring legacy as pioneering entertainers continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
