Description

1943 N.T.G. Victory Revue Florentine Gardens Souvenir Program
~ Yvonne De Carlo ~
This is a vintage and original 1943 souvenir program from Nils Granlund's
Hollywood nightclub the Florentine Gardens. This sensational old collectible
features photographs of the club's specialty dancers as well as brief snippets
on the acts that appear on the Florentine's stage and an introduction to the
nightclub entrepreneur himself, NTG.  From the World War II era, this highlights
the NTG Victory Revue, which featured a very young Yvonne De Carlo.
Florentine Gardens opened in 1938
. The club met with moderate success until 1940 when Bruni brought in
showman Nils Thor Granlund to shake things up. Known as N.T.G. or “Granny,” Granlund was universally
recognized as a master entertainer having produced elaborate live reviews for Loews Theatres in New York,
managed and developed programming for WHN radio, and operated successful shows on Broadway.
Granlund brought his signature style of live reviews featuring scantily-clad chorus girls, comedians,and singers
to Hollywood. He packed more than 500 seats nightly at Florentine Gardens with a floorshow
that combined entertainment, sex appeal and excitement. He booked such-well known acts as Paul Whitman
and his orchestra, Henny Youngman, the Mills Brothers and Sophie Tucker to entertain the crowds alongside
breathtaking trapeze acts like The Flying Herzogs. He gave many budding actresses their start in the chorus
line including Yvonne DeCarlo, who went on to become Lily Munster on the 1960s TV series.
