Revue dancers at the Wintergarten variety theatre, Berlin 1932

On the stage of the Wintergarten variety theatre near Friedrichstraße station, a chorus line of uniformly costumed revue dancers performs in lockstep. Opened in 1888, the Wintergarten was one of Europe's most prestigious variety venues, drawing audiences from every social class with its international attractions. The synchronized revue girls, a format imported from the United States and Britain, embodied the modernity and appetite for entertainment of Berlin's 'Golden Twenties'.
