EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of sketches showcases the iconic costumes of Jenny Dolly, the star of the groundbreaking musical "Maid in America," which premiered on Broadway in New York City in 1915. Jenny Dolly, portrayed by the legendary dancer and actress Rosie Jarvis, was a flapper icon and embodied the spirit of the Jazz Age. The costumes, designed by the renowned theatrical designer Rosetta Revere, were a sensation in their own right. They featured modern, form-fitting silhouettes, bold colors, and daring designs that challenged the social norms of the time. The sketches reveal intricate details of the costumes, from the delicate beading on the maid's uniforms to the extravagant feathers and sequins on the cabaret performers' outfits. Jenny Dolly and her sisters, who were also dancers in the production, were known for their energetic and provocative performances. The musical, which combined elements of jazz music and vaudeville, was a hit with audiences and helped to define the cultural landscape of the early 20th century. This photograph, taken in 1915, offers a glimpse into the rich history of American theatre and the enduring influence of the Jazz Age. The costumes, with their combination of elegance and audacity, continue to inspire fashion designers and performers to this day.
