McDuffie, Atty. wplring yonng Venuses paraded lefore his critical glance every .ay. ” pf ,i,p fact that ha was called the Qloritier of the .mcriean Girl. It was a title rich !y deserved. He often took some drat) litl© girl no one had ever .looked at twice, and transformed her on the stage into a d-zzling creature of mystery and seduc tion. Form and .grace—these a- lone—were the coveted passport to the Ziegfeld stage. Thp glamor was supplied by Zlegfeld himself. Ziegfeld was as regal in his ex travagances as an Oriental poten tate. He squandered millions Of dollars on costumes, conroing the markets of Europe and India and Asia for tthe most beautiful fab rics money could buy. Even the linings of dresse.s had to be of the finest silk, for he claimed no woman could feel really beautiful unless she beautiful cloth against her skin. He did everything on a lavish scale. Although he communicated with hundreds of people he never troubled to dictate a letter. Tele grams and cables fluttered in his wake like autumn leaves in a gale of wind, \\nberever he went, he carried with him a telegraph blank. He used to get on a train at Grand Central Terminal and use a whole pad of telegraph blanks before he reached 125th Street. Incredible as it seems, he ac tually sat in the orehe.stra during rehearsals and sent telegrams to people across the footlights. He sent telegrams to people who were within range of ibis voice. He once leaned out of his win dow and yelled at a man in the opposite: "Say, I sent you a tele gram. Why haven’t you answered it?” It was- almost impossible for him to walk past a telephone booth without stopping to call up a dozen people; and he .got out of bed almost every morning at six o’clock in order to telephone bis staff. He could scheme for hours to save seventeen or eighteen dol lars; an'1 I be next day. hi''d drop .lilrtil thousand dollars in Wall Street without batting an eye. He once borrowed five thous and dollars from Ed Wynn and (-’Pont that five thousand, bor rowed money to hire a private train to carry him across the continent. He made women feel beautiful by the sheer power of his ohival- ardr/a*Hi- J» ht» chorui ceived a box ot flowers **tm. Bren old sad h»lf-dqi»^ >onKn who applted to Mm to, -lbs were treated with the s*m« consideration he showed the reel. He paid most of his famous Tars an average of 15,000 a ,eek; often, at the end of the .eason they had more money in he bank than he himself had. When :he started in the show :uslness, chorus girls were gat ing ?30 a week: but under his rofligate reign, feminine pul- 'hrltude reached a market price )f $125 a w’eek. Zipgfeld’s first venture into show ■business was made at the •vrccocious age of fourteen. Bun- ■liiig away from home he became I trick rider and fancy shooter in Buffalo BiH’r- Wild West Show. At the age of twenty-five he was cleaning’ up a fortune as manager to Sandow, the husky strong man of the naughty Nine ties. Two years later, he was in Lon don—.broke—without a shilling to his name. He’d staked his luck at Monte Carlo and with a turn of the wheel he had lost his shirt. Being penniless never worried this great entrepreneur. By the sheer witchery of his manner, he got together another show and sailed back In triumph to Ameri ca with the most sensational star in Europe—the vivacious, scintil lating, the palpIUting Anna Held —thfe Mae West of her day.

Anna Held wag an immediate sensation. She took America by storm. Corsets, face powder, hats, perfumes, horses, cocktails, pup pies and cigars were named in her honor. She was toasted in champagne from coast to coast. And. within a year, Florenz Zlegfeld married her. Many years later, after he had divorced Anna Held, he fell estatlcally In love with Billie Burke. The very day he met 'her, he bought out an entire flower shop and sent the complete stock to her home—sent her every thing from sweet peas and or chids and carnations to the or ange trees In the window. And when Billie Burke told him that she had tried to thank him by telephone but had not been able to because his line was busy, he had a golden phone installed with a special ring for her private use. Ziegfeld loved indecision. He bated to make up his mind. He used to keep a box of llcoric drops on his desk; and when a friend asked him if he really Uked licorice he said: ‘T’U tell you why I eat them.
