Galveston, Texas, in May 1923 was a port city still rebuilding after the hurricane of 1900 killed thousands and wrecked much of the island. The city had raised its grade and built a massive seawall, and its economy rested on cotton shipping, the harbor, and a growing summer trade in Gulf beach resorts. Visitors came from inland Texas towns to bathe and stroll the sands, so a revue of young women in bathing costumes suited the seaside setting and the fashions of the decade. Prohibition-era Galveston also had a reputation for lively nightlife, which gave such shows extra appeal.
