EDITORS COMMENTS
Three Enchanting Glimpses of the Dodge Twins: Beth and Betty, America's Jazz Age Sensations (Top and Bottom in Costume from 'A Night in Venice' and Centre as They Really Are), 1930 The Dodge Twins, Beth and Betty, were an American dancing and singing sensation of the Jazz Age, captivating audiences in the 1920s and 1930s with their infectious energy and magnetic stage presence. These three photographs offer a captivating glimpse into their world, showcasing both their glamorous on-stage personas and their authentic selves. In the top two images, Beth and Betty are seen in costume for their performance in 'A Night in Venice,' a popular Broadway revue that showcased the latest dance crazes and jazz music. The twins' elegant costumes, with their shimmering sequins and intricate beadwork, perfectly capture the opulence and glamour of the era. Their expressive faces and animated movements suggest the excitement and joy they brought to their audiences night after night. In the centre photograph, the twins are seen as they really are, without the trappings of the stage. Their youthful faces, bright eyes, and casual attire reveal their age and the informal, behind-the-scenes side of their lives. Despite the stark contrast between the two sets of images, it is clear that Beth and Betty were one and the same – two talented and charismatic young women who brought joy and entertainment to millions during the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression. These photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of two American icons, capturing the essence of the Jazz Age and the spirit of the 1930s. From the bright lights of Broadway to the dance floors of New York City, Beth and Betty's story is a testament to the power of talent, charisma, and the enduring allure of the American stage.
