 Dancer
Tillie Losch wore this art deco headdress in one of Cochran's
intimate 1930s London revues – the magazine clipping this photo comes
from does not specify which. Imagine what it took to balance this
towering sparkler while cavorting about on stage eight times a week. |
 The
original logo for the Irving Berlin revue As Thousands Cheer
(1933) appears on the original sheet music for the wistful
"How's Chances." |
 The stars of Anything Goes
(Ethel Merman, Victor Moore, Bill Gaxton and Bettina Hall) can be seen in this
1934 Playbill ad for The Caprice Room, a now-forgotten nightspot. Even at the height of the
Depression, businesses paid handsomely to be associated with the glamour
of Broadway. |

  Mary Martin in two of her signature roles – a rare
color shot from the national tour of Annie Get Your Gun, and singing
"Honey Bun" in South Pacific |
