The Ziegfeld Follies were a series of elaborate theatrical productions on

Broadway in New York City from 1907 through 1931. Inspired by the

Folies Bergeres of Paris, the Ziegfeld Follies were conceived and mounted

by Florenz Ziegfeld, reportedly at the suggestion of his then-wife, the entertainer

Anna Held. The shows' producers were producing titans Klaw & Erlanger.

Made 85% on a Civics test today. Beans and cornbread for supper. Played pinochle. Daddy won. Mrs. Raifert and Hattie came over.

*Skillet Cornbread

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place a well greased 10-inch iron skillet into which a little corn meal has been sprinkled into the warming oven while you mix up the cornbread.

Sift together 1 1/2 cups corn meal, 1 heaping Tablespoon flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add 1 cup buttermilk and 1 egg to dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly and stir in 2 Tablespoons melted shortening (note: I use bacon drippings).

Pour mixture into hot skillet and bake about 25 minutes or until well-browned. Run a knife around the sides and turn out onto a plate.
