The Ziegfeld Girls with Martin Schneit

Monday, May 2 at 7:30pm

Village Center Program Room

No registration required

The Ziegfeld Follies ran from 1907 to 1931. Florenz Ziegfeld glorified the American girl and made her a symbol of the modern independent woman. Ziegfeld was instrumental in bringing women to the center of society and the Ziegfeld Girl became an American Institution. Martin Schneit takes you back to the Ziegfeld Follies and will profile the following individuals: Irving Berlin, Anna Held, Justine Johnston, Ann Pennington, Peggy Hopkins Joyce, Marilyn Miller, Fanny Brice, Joseph Urban and Ruth Etting. Schneit will also discuss the music of the Follies including songs like “My Man, Love Me or Leave Me” and “A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody”.
