Scala (Hiller) Girls
Chorus girls (possibly the Hiller girls) in full flash mode. They are performing here at the Scala theater. The photo dates from 1935 and was taken by Willy Pragher who photographed many revue shows of the period at various theaters in Berlin.
This is a photo from the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek website that in turn comes from the holdings of the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg. The Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek site is located at:
