Ziegfeld, Florenz. (1869 - 1932) [Cheney Johnston, Alfred. (1885 - 1971)]. TLS to Alfred Cheney Johnston. Typed and signed postcard from the 1927 stage musical Rio Rita, signed in red pencil by Florenz Ziegfeld, "Flo". This must have been written and then lost for many years and then sent in the 1960s when Johnston was in CT and Ziegfeld was long gone. The card is from the 1920s and has the message, “Show looks good. Wheeler and Woolsey are great. Get your camera cleaned up for the Girls! Best Flo."

From the estate of Alfred Cheney Johnston, the artist and superb photographer who was made famous for his photographs of the Ziegfeld girls.
