Amsterdam Broadway Brothers Cristo Florenz Follies Monte Nightlife Shubert Tableau Vivant Ziegfeld 1919

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this enchanting tableau vivant from the Ziegfeld Follies of 1919, produced by the legendary Florenz Ziegfeld at the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York City. This scene, arranged by Ben Ali Haggin, transports us back to the Roaring Twenties, an era of jazz, age, and vibrant nightlife in the Big Apple. The stage is set in a winter garden, where elegantly dressed flappers and dapper gentlemen mingle among exotic plants and blooms. Monte Cristo Jr., a popular figure in New York's entertainment scene, adds an air of sophistication to the tableau. The Shubert Brothers' Amsterdam Theatre serves as the perfect backdrop for this dazzling display of human art. Ben Ali Haggin, a master of tableau vivant, expertly choreographed this living picture to captivate audiences and leave them longing for more. The Ziegfeld Follies were renowned for their elaborate productions, and this tableau vivant is a testament to their commitment to pushing the boundaries of entertainment. As the lights dimmed and the curtain rose, the audience was transported to a world of glamour, excitement, and wonder. The 1920s came alive before their very eyes, and for a brief moment, they were part of the magic. This photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, when Broadway was the place to be and the Ziegfeld Follies reigned supreme.
