EDITORS COMMENTS
In this scene from the 1935 MGM film "The Bishop Misbehaves," British actress Lilian Bond dons a stunning Dolly Tree gown that adds an air of glamour and sophistication to her character. The photograph, taken during the production of the film, captures Bond's radiant beauty and the elegance of the 1930s fashion. Bond, who was a popular figure in London's cabaret scene, would have crossed paths with Dolly Tree before her Hollywood debut. The Piccadilly Revels cabaret show, where Tree was a prominent performer, was a hotspot for up-and-coming artists and celebrities. The jazz age was in full swing during the 1930s, and the film industry was embracing the trend, as evidenced by the sophisticated design of Bond's gown. The intricate beading and flowing silhouette were typical of the era's fashion, which emphasized elegance and glamour. The Bishop Misbehaves was a romantic comedy that followed the story of a bishop who falls in love with a nightclub singer, played by Rosalind Russell. The film, produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, showcased the studio's commitment to producing visually stunning productions that captured the essence of the era. Bond's appearance in the film marked her Hollywood debut, and she went on to appear in several other films throughout the 1930s and 1940s. This photograph serves as a reminder of the golden age of Hollywood and the timeless fashion and glamour that defined the era.
