EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a unique moment from the 1938 film "The Goldwyn Follies," produced by United Artists. On the left side of the image, a group of radiant Goldwyn Girls, the epitome of glamour and elegance in Hollywood, strike a pose in their ornate costumes. Their sultry expressions and alluring body language are a testament to the seductive power of burlesque and cabaret performances that were a staple of the 1930s. On the right side of the frame, a troupe of graceful dancers from the American Ballet of the Metropolitan Opera stand poised and ready to perform. The contrast between the two groups could not be more striking. While the Goldwyn Girls embody the sensuality and allure of the stage, the Metropolitan Opera dancers represent the refined and sophisticated world of classical ballet. The setting for this scene is the grand Hotel Capulet, which was a popular venue for live entertainment during the era. The Goldwyn Follies, a revue-style musical production, was a regular feature at the hotel, attracting a glamorous and affluent audience. The inclusion of the Metropolitan Opera dancers in the show was a bold and innovative move, showcasing the diversity and versatility of the entertainment industry during the 1930s. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of cinema and the performing arts during a time when Hollywood and the world of opera intersected in unexpected ways. The Goldwyn Follies and the Metropolitan Opera dancers represent the best of what the 1930s had to offer in terms of entertainment, and this image captures the essence of that era in a way that continues to captivate and inspire audiences today.
