EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the youthful charm and undeniable talent of Nelly (Nellie) Savage, a promising dancer and actress of the Jazz Age in the 1920s. Born in 1903, Savage had already made a name for herself on the concert stage before venturing into motion pictures. In this image, taken in July 1925, she exudes an air of confidence and sophistication, reflecting her dedication and training under the renowned Russian ballet master Michel Fokine. The 1920s were a time of innovation and excitement in the entertainment industry, and Savage was at the forefront of the dance scene. With the rise of jazz music and the popularity of ballroom dancing, she captivated audiences with her graceful movements and infectious energy. Her performances were a blend of classical ballet technique and the latest jazz dance styles, making her a standout among her contemporaries. This portrait offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of love, glamour, and entertainment. Savage's expressive eyes and radiant smile invite us to imagine the stories she could tell of her experiences on stage and behind the scenes. Her legacy continues to inspire dancers and performers today, reminding us of the power of art and the enduring allure of the 1920s.
