Trivia & History

  • Legal problems forced Ziegfeld to use a title other than Ziegfeld Follies for this edition.
  • There was a Ziegfeld Follies of 1926, but it was a touring show promoted by the temporary owner of the title, George Wintz.
  • This production opened in Florday, prior to Broadway under the title Ziegfeld's Palm Beach Nights. It was changed to Ziegfeld's Palm Beach Girl. And again to Ziegfeld Revue of 1926.
  • It opened on Broadway as Ziegfeld's American Revue. During the run, Ziegfeld changed the title to No Foolin', to capitalize on a popular song that was in the score.
  • The show went on tour and Ziegfeld won the court battle over the title. The show was able to tour as Ziegfeld Follies of 1926.
  • The two Moran and Mack selections listed for the 'Comedy Spot' are representative, but it is almost sure that the 'Hades' routine would have been used as it was their most popular at the time.
  • 'Who's That Pretty Baby?' is the only song which was published from George Wintz' touring version. It was not used in any of the Ziegfeld versions.
