EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grace and elegance of Chester Hales as he performs a ballet routine at the historic Capitol Theatre in New York City during the 1930s. The image, taken in 1931, showcases Hales in the prime of his career as a dancer, with his expressive face and poised body conveying the passion and artistry of his craft. At the time, Hales was a prominent figure in the American dance scene, known for his versatility and ability to seamlessly blend jazz and ballet styles. The Capitol Theatre, a renowned venue for vaudeville presentations and live entertainment, provided the perfect stage for Hales and his troupe to showcase their talents to eager audiences. The photograph offers a glimpse into the golden age of dance, an era when live performances held a special allure and entertainment was a communal experience. Hales' chorus line and fellow dancers can be seen in the background, adding to the dynamic energy of the scene. The image is a testament to the enduring power of dance as a form of artistic expression and a source of joy and wonderment. It also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural history of New York City and the United States during the 1920s and 1930s, a time when the arts flourished and creativity knew no bounds.
