[Christmas] Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. Original Photograph. Original doubleweight 8 x 13 inch photograph of the famous Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. Signed in black ink l.r. by the photographer (closely associated with the Ruth/Gehrig Yankees!), Cosmo Sileo. Undated, but ca. 1940. Fine condition.
Founded as the "Missouri Rockets" in St. Louis, MO by Russell Markert in 1925, the group was brought to New York City by Samuel Roxy Rothafel to perform at his Roxy Theatre and renamed the "Roxyettes." When Rothafell left the Roxy Theatre to open Radio City Music Hall, the dance troupe followed and later became known as the Rockettes. The group performed as part of opening night at Radio City Music Hall in 1932 and in 1936, the troupe won the grand prize at the "Paris Exposition de Dance." During the Christmas season, the Rockettes have performed five shows a day, seven days a week, for 77 years. As shown in the present image, they have been especially known for their perfect unison leg kicks in a chorus line.
