Justin McCarthy Alice Delysia in Afgar 1921 two- sided drawing in crayon.

Alice Delysia in Afgar backed with a Chorus Girl from Afgar March 26 1921. Afgar was 
“an extravagant musical comedy” performed 300 times in London and moving to Broadway in 1921. The New York Times thought the show “sufficient” but that Delasia was “stunning”. The show was most notable for the lavish costumes by Paul Poiret which McCarthy attempted to copy here. Justin McCarthy Two sided crayon drawings, 1921 collection Jim Linderman
