EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of the 1930s at the French Casino in Chicago, where the Revue Folies Bergère came to life, enchanting audiences with its dazzling displays of jazz, dance, and decadence. This photograph showcases three pivotal moments from the renowned revue, which ran from 1932 to 1934. In the foreground, the enigmatic Abd-Elhandi, a magician and illusionist, mesmerizes the crowd with his sleight of hand and mystifying tricks. With a twinkle in his eye and a confident smile, Abd-Elhandi embodied the allure and excitement of the cabaret scene. To the left, Emile Boreo, a suave and sophisticated bandleader, conducts his jazz orchestra with an air of authority and finesse. The musicians, dressed in sharp suits and bow ties, play their instruments with passion and precision, creating a lively and infectious rhythm that enticed patrons to dance the night away. The centerpiece of this photograph is the Apache scene, a high-energy dance craze that swept the nation during the 1930s. Two dancers, locked in an intense and passionate embrace, execute the intricate steps of the Apache dance, their movements mirroring the raw, primal energy of the jazz music that surrounds them. The French Casino, with its elegant Art Deco design and air of sophistication, provided the perfect setting for the Revue Folies Bergère to thrive. Clifford Fischer's photograph captures the essence of this bygone era, transporting us back to a time when nightlife was an art form, and the magic of live music and dance could captivate the hearts and minds of audiences.
