Baby Esther In Paris (1929)
The tiny black star Baby Esther better known as Little Esther Lee Jones, whose childish and brilliant dance has charmed the audience of The Empire before making a hit at the Moulin-Rouge.
Lou Bolton director of a school of child prodigies in Chicago thinks that Esther Jones is worth it.
Esther started in "Opera-Versus-Charleston" in a great music hall of her hometown. At the age of five, she created a new kind of rustic and picturesque American dance that was most popular with spectators.
She came to Europe, and so lately, M. Noret, the sympathetic adinistrator of The Empire, revealed the little black star to the Parisian public.
Today Esther has just created one of the most acclaimed numbers of the new Moulin-Rouge show.
She is eight years old. What is particularly exciting in her exhibition is that she remains naively the child who has fun. When we go to visit her in her dressing room, among her many dolls, we ask her if she ever gets nervous, she responds by saying "Why?".
