Program for The Century Girl
With The Century Girl (1916), a lavish revue produced by Florenz Ziegfeld and Charles B. Dillingham, Herbert began working on a new kind of musical, more up to date than operetta. Herbert wrote half of the music for the revue, which set new standards of opulence and scenic display. The young and already famous Irving Berlin wrote the other half of the music.
