Midnight Frolic: A Ziegfeld Girl's True Story

I couldn't bear to put this book down the entire time I was reading it! I found myself so engaged with Marcelle and pulling for her throughout this recount of her childhood and foray into show business in the early 20th century. I was charmed, informed, and sad when I ran out of pages- I was left wanting more from this wonderful, hard-working showgirl. Great insights into not only Ziegfeld, but the other performers and producers of the era. Thanks for your memories, Marcelle!

"Lively first-hand account of the life of a Follies showgirl.Earle was raised in poverty but, through her talent, beautyand ambition, became a celebrated star who won Ziegfeld'srespect and admiration.
