Ervína Kupferová, 1922

František Drtikol :: The dancer Ervína Kupferová in The Fire Drum, 1922. “The Fire Drum” has an extravagant subtitle “African drama full of fire, color, rumble, fragrance.” Its author was the no less extravagant Italian writer Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. For its time it was an ultra modern production, the sets were designed by Italian artist Enrico Prampolini. Although the photographer is not identified, its author was most likely František Drtikol (Kupferová’s husband). | src Prague National Theatre

Madam Satan waltz, 1930

Kay Johnson and Reginald Denny photographed by Manatt. Special photography for Cecil B. DeMille’s bizarre musical comedy, Madam Satan. The paper caption on reverse describes the image as Kay Johnson and Reginald Denny performing the Madam Satan waltz, aboard the Zeppelin. The photo attempts to create a more fantasy intense mood for the film since it was actually a very light comedy about an attempt by a wife, donning a disguise, to re-seduce her husband into submission. | src Heritage Auctions | view related post, here
