EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from the second act of George White's Scandals of 1919 at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., before its move to the Liberty Theatre in New York City. The 1920s were a time of new beginnings and innovation, and this production, with its blend of jazz music, dance, and burlesque, epitomized the excitement and energy of the era. The image showcases a group of dancers in various stages of performance, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of stage lights. The dancers, dressed in sequins and feathers, exude confidence and charisma as they move in perfect synchronization. The audience, unseen in this photograph, would have been entranced by the spectacle before them, transported to a world of glamour and decadence. George White's Scandals of 1919 was a groundbreaking production that helped define the new era of Broadway entertainment. It was known for its daring and provocative performances, pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable on stage. The show's success paved the way for future productions that would come to define the Jazz Age, making it an essential moment in the history of American theatre and nightlife. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a reminder of the magic and wonder that once filled the stages of New York and Washington's theatres. It invites us to imagine the excitement and energy of that night in 1919, when the curtain went up on George White's Scandals of 1919 and audiences were transported to a world of jazz, glamour, and innovation.
