[newyorkthegoldenage]

On October 19, 1924, the engagement of Roszika (Rosie) Dolly, left, one of the Dolly Sisters, to Edgar Alen Woolf (seated next to her), a screenwriter who later worked on the Wizard of Oz film, was announced. Yanczi (Jenny) Dolly is third from right, Leon Leitner and Florence Walton (a vaudeville dancer and cabaret performer in the 1910s and 1920s) at right.

The next day, the engagement was denied. Rosie Dolly and Edgar Alen Woolf never did marry.
