This is my Grandmother, Margie. This picture was taken in a studio in NYC sometime between 1928-1930. She was somewhere between 17 and 20 years old. My grandmother had tried out and was selected to be in the Ziegfeld Follies, but her father refused to allow her to do so. She eventually became a dancer in a Broadway production for which this picture was taken (don’t know the name of the show). This picture is actually a postcard used for advertising. I was told that the performers were given the photos on postcards to mail to all of their friends and family as a means of persuading them to “come and see the show” (not for free, of course).
