Ziegfeld (1867-1932, born in Chicago, Illinois) managed Sandow, the
strong man. In 1896, he turned to theatrical management. His promotion of a
French beauty, Anna Held, using press releases about her milk baths, brought her
fame and set a pattern of star-making through publicity. Held and Ziegfeld
were married from 1897 until they divorced in 1913. In 1907, Ziegfeld
produced his first revue, The Follies of 1907, modeled on the
Folies-Bergère of Paris but less risqué. The New York revue's combination of
semi-nudity, pageantry and comedy was repeated successfully for 23 more years in
the Ziegfeld Follies, until the Great Depression ended the annual
spectacles. All pages except cover are silked. Lightly toned, soiled,
stained and stained. Paper loss on cover, which touches signature in two places.
