Winter Garden, New York May 1924 JC2450 Costume Bandeau and sash miniskirt. TML. N-1. Armpit. Bare feet. Actions A young Joan Crawford has found employment dancing in a musical review in New York (1). She poses on a dance stage (2). Commentary Bare arms, bare belly and bare legs--this costume is more brief that most bikinis will be 25 years from now. Once again, the theater presages the bikini, and Crawford's belly will stay bare in that venue (e.g., JC3310), but not on the beach (JC2750). Source Photo by De Mirjian Studios.
