Louise Brooks Featured Ziegfeld Dancer

Broadway, New York
1925 LB2514

Costume
   Straps and grass skirt dance costume. Drum.

   TML

Actions
   Louise Brooks poses in a dance costume that consists of little more than straps and a grass skirt--with a drum (1)

Commentary
   This is actually one of the more covered-up portraits of Louise Brooks--aka Lulu--who like the many other performers in the Ziegfeld Follies or George White's Scandals gets recorded not only topless but in the total all-together. If nothing else, a lot of skin is on display on Broadway.
   See another picture of her a few years later after she becomes a movie star (LB2810).
