EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1930s, the Rocky Twins, a renowned jazz dancing duo, are seen outside the prestigious Royal Orfeum Theatre in Europe, where they were set to perform in a show alongside the legendary Josephine Baker. The age of the twins, whose real names were Rosalia and Concepcion Reyes, is not explicitly stated in the available records, but they were believed to have been born in the late 1890s or early 1900s. The sisters, dressed in elegant evening gowns, exude confidence and charm as they pose for the camera, their radiant smiles reflecting the excitement of the moment. The Royal Orfeum Theatre, an iconic music hall and cabaret venue, was a popular destination for international jazz artists and entertainers during the Jazz Age, making it an fitting stage for the Rocky Twins' European debut. Josephine Baker, the iconic American-born French dancer, singer, and actress, is also known to have graced the stage of the Royal Orfeum Theatre during this era. Her groundbreaking performances and charisma had made her a household name, and the opportunity to share a bill with her would have been a significant milestone in the careers of the Rocky Twins. The sisters, who had gained fame for their energetic and synchronized dance routines, were a popular attraction in the jazz scene of the 1920s and 1930s. Their unique style and captivating performances left audiences enthralled, and their collaboration with Josephine Baker would have only added to their allure. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich history of jazz music and entertainment during the 1930s and the enduring influence of the legendary performers who shaped it.
