The Rocky Twins posing as the Dolly Sisters.  Here’s a little bit about them: “The Rocky Twins were a pair of Norwegian brothers who made a name for themselves as dancers in the Paris music hall in the late 1920s at the tender age of 18. Their act took Paris by storm because in one of their numbers, they dressed up in drag and imitated the famous Dolly Sisters who had just retired.  Their unique performance enabled them to star in stage shows  all over Europe and America and at the same time their good looks became highly sought after by connoiseurs of the body beautiful of either sex. Leif and Paal Roschberg, were born 27 February 1909 in Oslo to Adolf Roscher Roschberg (a colonal in the army) and Gudrun Holst and they had an elder brother called Gunner. When they were eleven they wrote a book of fairy tales but their interest in dance eclipsed their writing talents and they studied ballet and dance in Oslo under Per Aabel and Love Krohn and allegedly had further tuition in London and Paris. They made their theatrical debut as The Rocky Twins in the Casino de Paris show Les Ailes de Paris in early 1928 at the age of 18 and became great friends with Helene Nice later to become known as the Bugatti Queen. They made an immediate impression and were adored by Parisian theatregoers. Next, they starred with Gina Palerme in La Volupte de Paris at the Concert Mayol in the summer of 1928. It was here that they gave their legendary impersonation of the famous Dolly Sisters who had just retired from the stage. They were described as ‘two tall disturbingly attractive youths…alike as two peas in a pod. On stage and off it was impossible to tell them apart.’ ”— Gary Chapman (< the original article is much longer)
