Historical Ziegfeld Group

HomeWelcome and enjoy your visit!Mar 31, 2009
Hello and welcome to all who happened to find this site!

Enormous thanks to Vlad who has been handling all involving this group for many many many months. A fantastic job and one I certainly won't be as good at keeping up with. Can't thank you enough, Vlad! jane is currently sort of keeping track of things :)

This site is for all things from the Ziegfeld decades, other photographers, music, other Broadway shows of the times, your own personal contributions (ex: asilverrose, a fabulous costumer, has made Ziegfeld-inspired costumes, boogoo has done some ACJ colorations, etc)

How to become a Member:

Membership is by invitation.

1. Message an admin or co-admin and provide the following information or your request will be ignored:

a. Your age.

b. Your interest in what is being posted here.

c. Something about yourself.

Members! Please read and comply with the following:

1. Posts containing nudity MUST be marked FOR MEMBERS ONLY before you publish them!!! Multiply does not allow such openly and zaps sites without warning if such is posted for public viewing. When posting an album, choose "For Everyone" or "Members Only" at the bottom of your Publish window. Anyone not complying will be removed from Member status.

2. For photo albums: Please DO add the date at the beginning of your subject line and your name at the end of it. After 30 days or so, edit subject to remove the date and move the album to wherever it best belongs in the albums order. To do this: Click Photos link at top of page, then choose "Rearrange Photos."

3. Please DO NOT add tags to your posts as many tags slow down Multiply sites. DO add info in the text header of your albums, music, videos, etc such as who is shown in the album and whatever other info you can share about what you've posted so that these will show up in Search Engines.

4. Please DO add links to your sites in the Links section and tell us what is there and a bit about your interests :)

5. Please DO post a Blog entry if you are looking for someone, have info to share or are looking for info, want to start a topic you're interested in, and so on.

6. If you need help, have questions, or need to have a post released, please message one of the Admins and ask them nicely to do it. If you need my (jane's) help, please PM me and give me a week or two to get back to you.

Enjoy the Group! There are amazing Members here!!!!

Hello all. I am soon to be 61, a former art major in college and an amateur photographer. I have been a fan of ACJ's Ziegfeld works since long before I knew who the photographer was. I would love to become a member of the group.

Thanks, Michael

I have a question regarding the photo thats labeled Anita Page on the Historical Ziegfeld site. Was there a Ziegfeld girl named Anita Page or "Paige" that is not the Silent Film star "Anita Page"??? Or is this really the silent star Anita Page?? the face doesnt look like her...http://ziegfeldgrrl.multiply.com/photos/album/42/Named_ACJ_Pics_A-D#photo=285.jpg

Hi, I'm 48 years old and over the last few years have become very interested in all things Alfred Cheney Johnston. I am hungry for information about the man and his work and this site looks like a terrific one for knowledge sharing about ACJ, Ziegfeld and the Jazz Age in general. I'd very much like to join the group and hope you will consider me for membership. Many thanks! Joe

Dear Ballboy: I have just turned 60 as well. 1951/52 was a very fine year for ocular sensitivity. Is the museum you envision a physical place or a virtual display such as this community? What is the temporal span of your collecting? Do you restrict yourself to American photographers, or are you international in scope? Do you have a format preference? Profdash [David S.

I will be 60 on my next birthday, and have always loved (in fact, preferred) the vintage beauty and elegance of the bygone age. I am in the process of developing a museum of same, and would very much appreciate being able to access this site for research (and to promote you). I have 1000s of vintage nudes, and am always on the lookout for more. I am a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Johns Hopkins University and retired govt. speech writer and consultant--married to the same woman for 35 wonderful years. Thanks for your consideration and keep up the great work in saving these treasures for posterity. Baliboy@aol.com

Thank You

Greetings, I'm a late 30 something ( ok I'll be 40 in two months ) with too many interests to list here. But I love the past, the costumes, the people, the photo's, the stories. My love of cinema is always growing and I'd love to join the group. Can you help. I'm lost in the woods. Regards MarjorieJCat

Hey'yall -

I'm wondering if anyone can provide images of A.C. Johnston's images of Helen Twelvetrees. I've seen the one from LiveAuction, but would like the others I've seen in the past. Can anyone guide me in the direction of where they originated? many thanks- ja
