Cortez and Peggy: The Dazzling Duo of the 1920s Cabaret Scene This photograph captures the electrifying moment when the enigmatic dance duo, Cortez and Peggy, mesmerized London audiences at the prestigious Hotel Metropole in 1924. Having already made waves in Paris with their successful residency at Rectors, the charismatic performers brought their unique brand of exotic entertainment to the heart of the city. The image showcases the dynamic duo in their element, with Cortez, dressed in a dapper suit and top hat, leading Peggy, resplendent in a shimmering, sequined dress, through an intricate dance routine.

As the music swelled around them, the duo transported their audience to a world of enchantment and wonder.
