Do you know the Duncan Sisters?

[Midnight Palace]

I'll bet you never heard of them, huh? I actually have a few staff writers now, and this new article was written by one of them. Take a minute to find out about the sisters who almost made it....

They kinda look more 1919 than 1929 to me in that clip...

Assumingly unrelated to ... whatshername? Isadora Duncan? Mrs. Mayakovskii?

The first part with the tap dancing and singing I like very much, that's a typical 20s musical display, but.... oh Lord! when the two sisters appear... it's all downhill for me as you point out they look and sound more teens than twenties, the hair 'a la Mary Pickford' ... where's the bob? where's the flapper flair?... I can see them performing on Broadway 1917, not on a 1929 musical talkie. [huh]
