Thankyou for sharing this,it's beautifull! My grandma was a showgirl in Chicago,and I've got similar publicity photos of her,dressed as Cleopatra,and,a 'risque' milkmaid type costume,she'd have fit into these perfectly! (despite my obvious nepotism/bias, she was a tall slender beauty) Thankyou for sharing this,and I adore Pachebels canon!
Thanks for sharing this. The video is very well done and extremely tasteful. I've been a long admirer of Alfred Cheney Johnston and I'd be willing to bet he would be happy to see his work presented this way.
eh but there are all naked most of them butt naked, its not as nasty as the modern photos tend to be but they are all naked, I am sure they usually had on a little bit more during the shows even if very little. eh I am surprized they did this in the 1920s and all it was loose but conservative by comparison to today.
It is weird for me because growing up from the 60s' and 70s' uk that even when hearing old stories and watching movies it still seems that characters now are pretending to a past. This is much more real.
yes that Pachel's Cannon or whatever it's called has become a cliché by now. too bad, it was a nice piece of music, but has been now beaten to death from overuse.
Lots of beautiful ladies. Many thanks for posting. I agree about the music - something sweet from the 20's would match better. But I just turn the volume way down when background music doesn't agree with me.
Thank you for your nice effort, Max. But I have to agree with some of the comments concerning the choice of music. You should have picked out something romantic by Stravinsky or Rickard Strauss. It would have matched the 1920s style better.
I wish i was pretty and had a better looking body. These girls have flat stomachs and nice shaped breasts. No breast implants! These girls are above average, and they look way better than a lot of the women living now!!!
I only learnt about Ziegfeld a few years ago.I was born mid fifthties in the u.k. and though I knew the twenties had some life in certain cities around the world, I always believed the the thirties were meant too be dull and non sexual,or non glamorous, women like Louise Brooks and absolute stunners like Dorothy Flood changed my mind. Adrienne Ames and Ann Pennington also.They must off had interesting lives. 1960's and 1970's was not everything.

Absolutely stunning.Each a classic work of art in her prime. All these girls looked so beautiful,intelligent,well poised...and talented;true to the Aryan ideal in presentation and form. A lot of these girls look like they secretly body built and most likely were on special diets. I did the same thing during my body building days. A lot of work just to look good. Now,everything and everyone looks..well..sick.They knew what quality meant before WW2.
The morphing is excellent, but I question the appropriateness of using the Pachebel Canon as background music: a popular ballad from the 20s--something by Paul Whiteman, perhaps--would have been far better, in my opinion.
I do apologise to you GrouchoBarks. I just posted a message thinking that this beautiful video was another work by ziegfeldgrrl [Jane] & have just realised my mistake. Your work is so similar to hers that i am sure you can understand. I cannot delete my previous comment so i have spammed it. Anyway a wonderful video & sorry.
Wow! What can i say Jane! When i sent you my second message of the day praising your other work set to Pachelbel's Canon in D, i had no idea you had also compiled another, which if anything, is even better. Absolutely wonderful! Are there any more?.
was that olive thomas at 1:22? i thought i also saw marilyn miller, mae murray, billie burke, marion davies, paulette goddard, and barbara stanwyck in there too...
Absolutely beautiful video. Max you really outdid yourself. A great introduction to the Ziegfield girls, great photos and impecable morphing. Thank you so much for this special treat.
Just impressive!!! I totally second the comment above. Johnson's photographs artistically are of the highest possible standard, moreover presented in the most sophisticated way. Pachelbel's Canon is a perfect musical bakground.
The morphing is so smooth. It's fantastic. Thank you for also putting up their nude photos. All of these girls were works of art.

I'd known that some of the very famous Old Hollywood actresses were a Zeigfeld girl before they went and tried their luck in Hollywood.
Alfred Cheney really knew how to capture their natural beauty. How magnificent. ;)
