vestedbee: Super stunning 1930’s headdress. I want it! :) susannacole: A towering headdress and plug earrings adorn a 1930s Balinese djanger dancer, part of a coed performance that was “more of popular fun than of temple dance or disciplined art,” wrote Maynard Owen Williams in his March 1939 Geographic article, “Bali and Points East.” The dance’s male participants “at times resemble a troupe of cheer leaders made up like Groucho Marx,” noted Williams. “Syncopated movement, swaying forms, flashing fingers, and glittering crowns in high relief against deep shadows under the banyan tree—such is the djanger.” — Margaret G. Zackowitz Ph: Andre Roosevelt

Stacia Napierkowska (by Truus, Bob & Jan too!) French postcard in the series Les Vedettes de Cinéma by A.N., Paris, nr. 50. Photo: Sobol. Exotic Stacia Napierkowska (1886-1945) was a fascinating star of the silent film era. The French actress and dancer is best remembered as the seductive but cruel Queen Antinéa in the classic fantasy L’Atlantide/Missing Husbands (1921). Between 1908 and 1926 she appeared in 86 films.
