	TechnoFILE Reviews "Funny Girl" on DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Funny Girl won her a well-deserved Oscar for her role as stage star Fanny Brice during her rise to superstardom in the Zigfeld Follies.
		But Fanny can't just be a chorus girl; she doesn't think she's pretty enough and her natural comic tendencies rise to the surface in a self lampooning manner that singles her out from the crowd.
		Fanny still can't do it by the book, however, and her version of the assigned musical number (in which she once again lampoons herself) is an instant hit with the audience, forcing Zigfeld to either fire her and lose a bright new star or give her way and eat his own crow.

	FUNNY GIRL
		Fanny is accepted into the Follies, and asked to sing in both a solo number SECOND HAND ROSE, and in the finale, a beautiful bride number.
		Under the pressure that she will be cut from the follies if she bows out of the finale she does the number, but personalises it slightly to make it a comedy which Zigfeld grudgingly admits is a success.
		Fanny is, of course, miserable without him and the other girls in the follies try to console her.

		As the host of Texaco Star Theater from 1948 to 1956, he put television on the cultural map, and convinced many households to buy their first sets (his show was seen by an astounding 97 percent of those who owned them).
		As a former headliner at the Zigfeld Follies, he was instrumental in creating the vaudevillian foundation that television comedy is based upon - variety formats with slapstick, over-the-top sight gags, music and self-deprecating comedians.
		More than any other entertainer of his time, Berle was a master of the "bad pun," thousands of which he collected in books.

	Slowfox: Englische Eleganz erobert die Welt
		Die Herkunft des Namens ist heute nicht mehr eindeutig zu bestimmen, da sich die Quellen zu sehr widersprechen.
		Wahrscheinlich geht der Name Foxtrott auf den Schauspieler Harry Fox zurück, der in seiner Variete-Tanz-Show "Harry Fox and the Zigfeld Follies" den Ragtime mit vielen Schritten aus dem Onestep und Castle Walk verband.
		So tauchte der Foxtrott im Sommer 1914 erstmals in den USA auf und mit seinem populären Varieté verbreitete Fox diesen Tanz schnell in der Öffentlichkeit.
