Ziegfeld Follies Girls Forever A Collector’s Fierce Eye
Adela Rogers St Johns profiles Florenz Ziegfeld’s obsession with perfect Follies girls from 1907 onward. He scouted workroom to park Row diners for beauty, recycling talent from Bronx stenographers to Park Avenue socialites. The piece traces origins, travels through Chicago suppers, and notes later fates of famed showgirls.
