<B>LADY DUFF GORDON AND
FLORENZ ZIEGFELD: THE INVENTION OF THE COUTURE MODEL-SHOWGIRL</B>
Just as Kibler dislodges the fixed historical interpretations given to the "decline of vaudeville," so Mizejewski's Ziegfeld Girl demystifies the legendary status granted
Florenz Ziegfeld and his paternal creation of the Glorified American Girl.
One of the most successful producers of visually lavish entertainment was
Florenz Ziegfeld, who offered his first Ziegfeld Follies this year.
Florenz Ziegfeld's Follies (1907-43) kept the loose form of the variety shows but introduced singers such as Sophie Tucker and Eddie Cantor, and composers such as <IR> JEROME KERN </IR> and <IR> IRVING BERLIN </IR> .
For eight years, they have been actively involved with the Ziegfeld Girls of Florida, a Boca Raton-based club that perpetuates the memory of legendary showman
Florenz Ziegfeld. Club members are women who have had careers in theater, film, vaudeville or music hall.
He then wrote songs for
Florenz Ziegfeld and for the Music Box Revue (1921 - 24), and later became famous for the scores of such musical comedies as As Thousands Cheer (1933), Annie Get Your Gun (1946), and Call Me Madam (1950).
Celebrated Broadway producer

Rainer won her twin best actress Oscars for 1936 biopic "The Great Ziegfeld," drawing the nod despite a fairly small role as impresario
Florenz Ziegfeld's first wife, and 1937's "The Good Earth," an adaptation of the novel by Pearl S.
Florenz Ziegfeld became famous for "glorifying the American girl." His success encouraged the popularity of burlesque, which was ultimately celebrated for the nudity it promised and never delivered.
