EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, two anthropomorphic cat entertainers, Janzieska and Roszieska Deutsch, gracefully embody the legendary Dolly Sisters. Known to their adoring fans as Jenny and Rosie Dolly, these identical twins of American-Hungarian origin defied expectations and climbed the ranks from humble beginnings in Vaudeville theatre to dazzling stardom on Broadway as cabaret sensations during the 1920s. The sisters' enchanting performance style was reminiscent of the original Dolly Sisters, Rosie and Jenny, who captivated audiences with their wit, charm, and stunning synchronization. Dressed in elegant, sequined costumes, the anthropomorphic cats exude an air of sophistication and glamour, their expressive eyes conveying the joy and excitement that comes with their art. The Dolly Sisters' journey to fame began in the early 1900s when they first appeared on stage, their unique act captivating audiences with their playful antics and impeccable timing. As they grew in popularity, they moved from small-town theatres to the bright lights of Broadway, where they became celebrated stars. This photograph, taken circa 1922, captures the sisters in their prime, their love for performing evident in every movement and gesture. The image serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and the power of the human (or feline) spirit to transcend boundaries and captivate audiences. Janzieska and Roszieska Deutsch, the anthropomorphic cat entertainers, continued to enchant and delight fans with their Dolly Sisters act for years to come, leaving behind a rich history of entertainment that continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
