Auction History Result 4p0106 SHOW BOAT GLORIFYING THE AMERICAN GIRL stage play WC 1930s tribute after Ziegfeld's death! Date Sold 7/4/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Stage Play Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Show Boat Glorifying the American Girl, the circa 1930s musical stage play ("As presented two years at the Ziegfeld and Casino Theatres, N.Y."; "Not a moving picture"; "Ziegfeld Last and Greatest Triumph"; "In the flesh and blood"; "Music by Jerome Kern"; "Lyrics and Book by Oscar Hammerstein II"; "From Edna Ferber's novel"; "Final opportunity to witness an original Ziegfeld production"; presented by Florenz Ziegfeld). Note that Show Boat played at the Ziegfeld Theatre in 1927 to 1929, and at the Casino Theatre in 1932. This window card references both of those, and mysteriously, it has "Glorifying the American Girl" under the title, which was another major Ziegfeld hit from the 1920s. So we suspect that this was a show of musical numbers excerpted from both of those shows. Since Ziegfeld died in 1932, we imagine this was a special tribute show put together after his death with performers from the original casts (which would explain the "final opportunity to witness an original Ziegfeld production"). If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this window card, and those were both 10 years ago! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
