EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the youthful and radiant beauty of Odette Goimbault, a promising dancer and pupil of the renowned dance instructor, Mlle. Smurthwaite, in London during the early jazz age. The image, taken in 1916, showcases Odette's elegant posture, expressive facial features, and the graceful movement of her arms, all of which would later serve her well as she graced the stages of theaters and eventually the silent films. At the time of this photograph, Odette was on the cusp of an exciting and transformative period in her life. Having honed her skills under the tutelage of Mlle. Smurthwaite, she began to make a name for herself in the London dance scene. Her captivating performances, characterized by their fluidity, energy, and artistry, drew the attention of both audiences and industry insiders. As the jazz age continued to sweep through the city, Odette's talent and allure grew, leading her to the world of silent films. In the late 1910s, she made her screen debut as a British silent film star, adapting her stage presence to the new medium with ease. Her magnetic on-screen charisma and undeniable talent quickly endeared her to audiences, making her a beloved figure in the burgeoning film industry. This evocative portrait, taken a year before Odette's journey into the world of film, offers a glimpse into the life of a young woman on the brink of greatness. With her expressive eyes and poised demeanor, Odette exudes an undeniable sense of promise and potential, making this image a testament to the power of determination, talent, and the allure of the arts.
