EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment on the set of the silent film "The Million Dollar," starring the legendary Dolly Sisters, Rosie and Jenny, with director Leonce Perret in 1918. The sisters, known for their jazz age charisma and flair, are seen dressed in their dazzling costumes, complete with feathers and beads, as they prepare for a scene. The atmosphere is electric, with the energy of the cabaret stage seemingly carried over to the film set. Leonce Perret, a visionary director known for his innovative approach to filmmaking, stands confidently among the cast and crew, overseeing the production. His groundbreaking techniques, such as using multiple cameras and close-ups, would revolutionize the silent film industry. The Million Dollar, released in 1918, was a significant milestone in the careers of the Dolly Sisters, who had gained fame as popular cabaret performers in Europe before making the transition to the silver screen. The film's success solidified their status as Hollywood stars and helped to define the jazz age aesthetic. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of silent film production during a pivotal moment in entertainment history. The Dolly Sisters and Leonce Perret's collaboration on The Million Dollar represents the fusion of cabaret and cinema, and their influence continues to be felt in the entertainment industry today.
