Over one hundred years ago.

These pics came up via my Pinterest account a few days ago. Must have been from a search for one of my earlier posts.
Never realized the “Ziegfeld Follies” was so Risqué. Thought it was just another Broadway show. This is what Wikipedia had to say about it:
Quote:
Ziegfeld Girls were the chorus girls and showgirls from Florenz Ziegfeld's theatrical Broadway revue spectaculars known as the Ziegfeld Follies (1907–1931), in New York City, which were based on the Folies Bergère of Paris.

Billie Burke (“Glinda the Good Witch” in the Wizard of Oz – you know, the one who says: “Toto too!”) was one of Ziegfeld’s many wives. You learn something new every day.
