EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Dorothy Stone in the prime of her career as the leading lady of Ziegfeld's legendary musical extravaganza, "Show Girl," in 1929. Dorothy Stone's radiant smile and sparkling eyes reflect the excitement and allure of the Jazz Age, a time when New York City's Broadway stages came alive with dazzling productions and larger-than-life personalities. Born in the United States in 1897, Dorothy Stone began her career as a dancer in the chorus lines of various vaudeville shows before being discovered by the renowned impresario, Florenz Ziegfeld. In "Show Girl," she took center stage, showcasing her exceptional talent and charisma in a production that was a testament to the power of American entertainment. The photograph, taken in 1929, captures Dorothy Stone in the height of her glory, dressed in an elegant sequined gown and holding a feather fan. Her confident posture and captivating expression convey the magic and mystery of the stage, transporting us back to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties or the Jazz Age, was a time of cultural and social transformation in America. This period was marked by the rise of jazz music, flapper fashion, and the emergence of new forms of mass media, including magazines and motion pictures. Dorothy Stone was a shining star of this era, embodying the spirit of innovation, creativity, and excitement that defined the times. Today, this portrait serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the arts to captivate and inspire, and of the remarkable women who helped shape the cultural landscape of the United States in the 20th century.
