pretty amazing costumes. Just too damn many people on that stage! Oh yeah, she was considered a great dancer. I'm not crazy for her ballet, but her show dancing is wonderful!
Man she is skinny as a rail, and her form is not great compaired to todays dancers, but that is how most were in the period of time. But she has great musicality, abillity to dance the music which lacks in most dancers today, and she is fast on her feet even by todays standards.
Did you know she was born in richmond indiana and so were the Wright Brothers that made the first practical aircraft, its true just thought I would let you all know.
Most of these early WB/Vitaphone musicals were photographed in color, the splendid photography, and the advnced fidelity of the (Yet Cumbersome) Vitaphone srynchronized sound disc to film process, made a very deep impact o early talking pictures. I too would love to see this in color as it was originally photographed.
next time you are on times square, find the Friday's there. Look up at the second story of the side street it is on. There on the side of the building you will see forgotten statues of Marilyn Miller , Helen Hayes and other famous B'way performers. Sic transit gloria.
I love the costumes, and finnaly the fameous marilan miller,man her form is not always great but she is faster the lightning and moves like a tap dancer
love her charm and daintiness, qualities no longer en vogue,.

Watch her "Look for the Silver Lining" on You Tube. Classic Marilyn Miller! It was recently posted.

As a fan of Ziggy (Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.), with gratitude, thank you a lot for these videos of one of the most popular Ziegfeld Follies Girls.
