		Brainchild of Broadway impresario Florenz Ziegfeld and his first wife, European singer Anna Held,; The Ziegfeld Follies dominated the American theatrical revue scene from 1907 until the late 1920s and early 1930s when the popularity of vaudeville began to diminish.
		Ziegfeld's attempt at continental appeal, however, could not match the flamboyance and over-the-top glitz his own personal flair lended to his works.
		The Ziegfeld Follies' vaunted showgirl lives on in the nightclub acts of Las Vegas and Atlantic City but she's lost the lavish, individualized attention Florenz Ziegfeld bestowed upon her.

	Ziegfeld Follies (1946) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Ziegfeld Follies were legendary stage shows that consisted entirely of musical numbers and comedy routines performed by some of the greatest stars of the day.
		The result was an outrageous budget that would have made Ziegfeld himself blanch, a wave of imaginative visuals that could have never been crammed onto even the biggest Broadway stage, a host of legendary performers, and the occasional comedy routine for relief from the sheer spectacle of it all.
		In spite of its array of stars and remarkable visuals, ZIEGFELD FOLLIES was not among MGM's box-office knockouts of the 1940s and it was rarely seen after its original theatrical release.

		Photographs and sheet music make up the bulk of the Florenz Ziegfeld Collection, 1893-1979 (bulk 1910-1930), which documents Ziegfeld's career as a producer and, to a lesser extent, the contributions of some of the theater professionals associated with him.
		Ziegfeld's variety work for the Syndicate is represented by a Jardin de Paris program from June 1907.
		While most of the numbers were intended for Ziegfeld's revues, some were popularized by Follies performers but not used by Ziegfeld, and a very small number appear to have no direct Ziegfeld connection.

		From 1907 until 1925, Ziegfeld (1867 -1932) treated New York to an annual musical revue first produced under the title Follies and then, beginning in 1911, under the title Ziegfeld Follies.
		Glamour and opulence were the keynotes of Ziegfeld's extravaganzas, to the extent that "Ziegfeld" has become synonymous with lavish splendor.
		The year 1926 presented Ziegfeld with something of a problem; pending litigation with two of his partners had prohibited use of the highly recognized Ziegfeld Follies title on the Globe's marquee.

		The presence of William Powell as legendary showman Flo Ziegfeld at the beginning of Ziegfeld Follies might lead an impressionable viewer from thinking that this 1946 film is a Technicolor sequel to the 1936 Oscar-winning The Great Ziegfeld.
		We meet a grayed, immaculately garbed Ziegfeld in Paradise (his daily diary entry reads "Another heavenly day"), where he looks down upon the world and muses over the sort of show he'd be putting on were he still alive.
		Evidently Ziegfeld's shade has something of a celestial conduit to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, since his "dream" show is populated almost exclusively by MGM stars.

		The Ziegfeld Follies was a theatrical juggernaut that did far more than launch the career of Marilyn Miller.
		Ziegfeld was simply trying to mount a light, inexpensive entertainment for the summer season.
		But the result, Follies of 1907, was such a smash hit that Ziegfeld soon attached his own name to it and began mounting it annually as the main event of the Broadway season.

		Impresario Florenz Ziegfeld billed his follies as “something new under the sun” at their 1907 debut, and audiences agreed.
		Ziegfeld was also the first Broadway producer to construct a theatre to meet the requirements of musical comedy: he had Joseph Urban build the ellipse-shaped Ziegfeld Theatre to maximize the audience’s acoustic and visual experience.
		Every Ziegfeld spectacle became the hottest ticket in town and audiences simply couldn’t get enough; in the 1920s hundreds of similar revues opened on Broadway and many magnificent new auditoriums were constructed to accommodate them.

		As the master showman of the early twentieth century, Ziegfeld brought a unique and sophisticated style, taste, and extravagance to the theater, popularizing a new form of entertainment called the revue.
		Ziegfeld staged A Parlor Match so that the production emphasized Held's beauty and risqué charm; although she appeared in only one scene, she became the star of the show.
		Because of the Follies' emphases on opulence, spectacle, and beauty, the shows embodied the values of an America imbued with the notion of prosperity and the American Dream.

		Ziegfeld sets himself up on Broadway, producing revues -- "The Ziegfeld Follies" -- that combine beautiful, glamorous chorus girls and personalities like Fannie Brice and Will Rogers in diverting and entertaining shows.
		But Ziegfeld also lives extravagantly, sending telegrams to people within shouting distance (the contemporary equivalent might be using a cell phone to call the next room) and gambling away his profits.
		Ziegfeld, while not the first to make money off the display of beautiful women, surely was the first to make so much of it.
