EDITORS COMMENTS
His Bridal Night," a captivating photograph from 1916, showcases the legendary Dolly Sisters, Rosie and Jenny, in the height of their cabaret fame in New York City. The sisters, known for their vivacious energy and flair, are depicted in this image during a performance at an unspecified New York theatre. Dressed in elegant, yet revealing, bridal gowns, they embody the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, an era of jazz, liberation, and rebellion. The Dolly Sisters, Rosie and Jenny, were born in Switzerland but made their mark in the United States as popular vaudeville and burlesque performers. They began their career as child performers and quickly rose to fame for their comedic skits and provocative dance routines. By the 1910s, they had transitioned to the cabaret scene, where they became icons of the flapper era. In "His Bridal Night," the sisters exude confidence and allure as they dance on the stage, surrounded by an enraptured audience. Their bridal gowns, adorned with intricate beading and fringe, add an element of surprise and playfulness to their performance. The photograph captures a moment in time when the Dolly Sisters were at the pinnacle of their success, embodying the spirit of the Jazz Age and leaving a lasting impact on the history of American entertainment. This photograph is a testament to the Dolly Sisters' enduring legacy and their influence on the cultural landscape of the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when the stage was a place of excitement, innovation, and unforgettable performances. "His Bridal Night" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of jazz, cabaret, and the Roaring Twenties.
