Gone, Still

For years I craved the red.

Backstage at Folies Bergere, Tropicana. Las Vegas, c. 1967 

The photos from Bettmann archives do not credit the photographer nor do they include a date or any of the women’s names. Bettmann’s caption says, “Tropicana dancers dress for a show celebrating the centennial of the original Folies Bergere, which opened in Paris in 1869.” Tropicana’s Centennial Edition of Folies Bergere was Fall 1967, and included the first Las Vegas appearance of Siegfried & Roy.
