Inhaltsangabe
When Florenz Ziegfeld started in theatre, it was flea circus and sideshow rolled into one. When he left, the glamorous world of 'show-biz' had been created. From the muscle man "Sandow", to the songbird "Anna Held", Ziegfeld learned that a big star filled seats and he hired them all for his "Follies" - Marilyn Miller, Will Rogers, Bert Williams, Eddie Cantor and Fanny Brice among them. A man of voracious sexual appetites, Ziegfeld's ardour created the Ziegfeld Girl. Head-dressed and bejewelled, they wore little more than a smile when gliding down the steps of the most eye-popping evenings theatregoers had ever seen. His power, though, went beyond the Follies as he produced a number of landmark shows, including Kern and Hammerstein's seminal "Showboat." In "Ziegfeld", Mordden recreates the lost world of the "Follies", a place filled with a glamour that no longer exists, masterminded by one of the most inventive and exacting men ever to fill a Broadway stage: Florenz Ziegfeld.

Hardcover. Zustand: fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: fine. First edition. The saga of Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. occurs precisely during this era of expansion and assimilation. When, in 1893, Ziegfeld arrived in New York looking for his first project, theatre was still operating exclusively in old forms. Ziegfeld became The Great Ziegfeld, his shows unlike other men's shows because he pursued a concept of the stage as a place of surprise and delight. The Follies is like that: something extraordinary suddenly appears. First printing in fine condition. Size: 6½" - 9½" First printing First printing. book. Artikel-Nr. 273596
