Varietebühne - Illustrierte Magazine




Captioned, "Girls zeigen ihre Künste auf einer Varietebühne" (Girls show off their skills on a variety show stage).  The original page has a credit to ufa (Universum Film AG), the German film studio, which makes me wonder if the dancers might have appeared in one of their movies.  I think the most likely candidate is "Die Csardasfuerstin" from 1934.  (I'll post it tomorrow.) 

This was originally colorized.  I have converted it back to black and white.

From the German magazine, "Das Magazin", archived at the Illustrierte Magazine site.

Description from the site:

"Illustrated magazines from the era of Classic Modernism are a rich and esthetically top-rate source for the history of the period between the wars with regard to everyday life, culture, communication, design and photography. Our website offers the complete inventories of "Querschnitt", "UHU", "Kriminal-Magazin", "Jüdische Magazin" and "Auto-Magazin", soon to be joined by five more titles. Ten of the most important German-language magazines of the period with roughly 650 issues, with 75,000 printed pages and more than 50,000 illustrations have for the first time been compiled virtually and made available to both researchers as well as to readers interested in cultural history."
