Zigfeld Follies : ウィキペディア英語版
Ziegfeld Follies

The ''Ziegfeld Follies'' were a series of elaborate theatrical productions on Broadway in New York City from 1907 through 1931, with renewals in 1934 and 1936. They became a radio program in 1932 and 1936 as ''The Ziegfeld Follies of the Air''.
Inspired by the Folies Bergère of Paris, the Ziegfeld Follies were conceived and mounted by Florenz Ziegfeld, reportedly at the suggestion of his then-wife, the entertainer Anna Held. The shows' producers were turn-of-the-twentieth-century producing titans Klaw & Erlanger.
==History==
The Follies were lavish revues, something between later Broadway shows and a more elaborate high class Vaudeville variety show. Many of the top entertainers of the era (including W. C. Fields, Eddie Cantor, Josephine Baker, Fanny Brice, Ann Pennington, Bert Williams, Eva Tanguay, Bob Hope, Will Rogers, Ruth Etting, Ray Bolger, Helen Morgan, Louise Brooks, Marilyn Miller, Ed Wynn, Gilda Gray, Nora Bayes, Sophie Tucker, and others) appeared in the shows.〔("Flo Ziegfeld-Billie Burke Papers" ) nypl.org, accessed December 3, 2011〕 The Ziegfeld Follies also were famous for many, beautiful chorus girls commonly known as Ziegfeld girls,〔("Ziegfeld Biography" ) pbs.org, accessed December 3, 2011〕 usually wearing elaborate costumes by designers such as Erté, Lady Duff Gordon or Ben Ali Haggin. The first ''Follies'' was produced in 1907 at the roof theatre ''Jardin de Paris''.〔("Follies of 1907" )''The New York Times'', July 9, 1907〕
The Ziegfeld girls "paraded up and down flights of stairs as anything from birds to battleships." The "Tableau vivants" were designed by Ben Ali Haggin from 1917 to 1925. Joseph Urban was the scenic designer for the ''Follies'' shows starting in 1915.〔Green, Stanley.("Ziegfeld" )''Encyclopedia of the Musical Theatre'' (1980), Da Capo Press, ISBN 0-306-80113-2, pp.462-465〕
After Ziegfeld's death his widow, Billie Burke, authorized use of his name for Ziegfeld Follies in 1934 and 1936 to Jake Shubert, who then produced the ''Follies''.〔Bloom, Ken.("Winter Garden Theatre" ) ''The Routledge Guide to Broadway'' (2007), CRC Press, ISBN 0-415-97380-5, p. 273〕 The name was later used by other promoters in New York City, Philadelphia, and again on Broadway, with less connection to the original Follies. These latter efforts failed miserably. When later it toured, the 1934 edition was recorded in its entirety, from the Overture to Play-out music, on a series of 78 rpm discs, which were edited by the record producer David Cunard to form an album of the highlights of the production and which was released as a Compact Disc in 1997.
