JAZZ AGE BEAUTIES - by Robert Hudovernik
Forgotten for over 80 years, the lost collection
of Alfred Cheney Johnston's photographs is now brought to
light again in the 2006 release by Rizzoli International
Publications, Inc.
In 1917, Florenz Ziegfeld hired an unknown "camera artist"
named Alfred Cheney Johnston to be his official photographer.
Johnston, who had a remarkable talent for capturing feminine
beauty on film, created thousands of magnificent publicity
stills of Ziegfeld Girls and silent film stars during "the
Jazz Age."

CENTURY GIRL
100 Years in the Life of Doris Eaton Travis, Last Living Star of the
Ziegfeld Follies - by Lauren Redniss
| |
"One of the most captivating darlings of the Twentieth Century, as
rendered by one of the freshest young phenoms of the Twenty-first.
Will Rogers, George Gershwin, Babe Ruth, John Wayne, and countless
others, go flitting through flapper Doris Eaton's marvelously
beguiling story, but time and again, it's Lauren Redniss's line and
composition that capture and hold us, lingering, utterly entranced.
This book is the opposite of a page-turner: it's a page-stopper, a
page-savorer, in short: an unmitigated delight."
-Lawrence Weschler, author of Mr Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder and
Everything that Rises: A Book of Convergences.
