Leigh Sisters

The Leigh Sisters was a vaudeville act at the end of the 19th century in the United States.

The sisters were Edna and Stella Leigh who danced in a saucy style,[1] exposing their legs more than was usual in those times.

The films were hand coloured so we know that they were blondes, the umbrella was purple.

The film was so popular that new versions were printed and hand coloured for the next five years.
