Ziegfeld and Held in Suit Over Gambling Debt in France
Florence Ziegfeld Jr and Anna Held face a Supreme Court case with Alfred Boulant over $20,000 reportedly won at roulette at Boulant's Birritz gambling house in 1905. Ziegfeld denies liability, saying the debt arose from gambling and cannot be collected. Boulant holds a bill of exchange bearing Ziegfeld's signature. The letters are used as evidence. Held remarks that her husband’s European gambling woes have tangled their finances and notes she aims to retire after another season.
