Revues featured extravagant costumes, sets and effects, and often nude women. In 1926, Josephine Baker caused a sensation at the Folies Bergere by dancing in a costume consisting of a skirt made of a string of artificial bananas and little else. It has been the stage for many other famous acts including: Maurice Chevalier, Fernandel, W.C. Fields, Ella Fitzgerald, and many, many more! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that our consignor tells us this program is surely from the early 1920s (possibly 1923/24). It has a wonderful full-color centerfold, with naked ladies posing by ornate lamps in front of people in fancy outfits, and it has lots and lots of photos from the production, including many of topless Folies Bergere dancers. If anyone knows more about this program, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
