EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the charming and endearing couple, Will and Betty Rogers, engaged in an outdoor cooking session at their Pacific Palisades, California, residence during the Roaring Twenties. Will Rogers, a celebrated Cherokee cowboy, vaudeville performer, humorist, newspaper columnist, social commentator, and stage and motion picture actor, is depicted here in a more intimate and domestic setting, showcasing his traditional values and down-to-earth charm. Betty Rogers, nee Blake, stands by her husband's side, donning an apron and offering her assistance. At a time when the world was enamored with the glitz and glamour of the Jazz Age, Rogers embodied a sense of stability and conventionality. His home life and unwavering moral code served as a comforting reminder of an innocent past. The image of the couple cooking together in their backyard adds to their enduring appeal, as it highlights their shared love and companionship. Will Rogers' multifaceted career in entertainment, which spanned vaudeville, humor, journalism, and film, made him a beloved figure in American culture. His humorous commentary on social issues resonated with audiences, and his warm and approachable demeanor endeared him to millions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the personal life of this iconic American figure and his beloved wife, Betty, as they enjoy a simple pleasure together.
