Doris Eaton Travis (also Doris Eaton) (born March 14, 1904) is a retired Broadway and film performer, dance instructor and author. She is also the last surviving Ziegfeld girl.

Eaton Travis began performing onstage as a young child, and made her Broadway debut at the age of 13. A year later, in 1918, she joined the Ziegfeld Follies as the youngest Ziegfeld Girl ever cast in the show. She continued to perform in stage productions and silent films throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. As of 2009 ,she is along with Miriam Seegar, Barbara Kent, Dorothy Young and Carla Laemmle one of the oldest surviving American Performers.

When her career in stage and screen declined, Eaton Travis started a second career as an Arthur Murray dance instructor and local television personality in Detroit. Her association with Arthur Murray lasted for three decades, during which time she rose through the ranks to own and manage a chain of nearly 20 schools. After retiring from her career with Arthur Murray, she went on to manage a horse ranch with her husband and returned to school, eventually earning several degrees.

In recent years, Doris Eaton Travis has returned to the public eye. As the last surviving Ziegfeld Girl, she has been featured in several books and documentaries about the Ziegfeld Follies and her other stage endeavors. Eaton Travis has also returned to the stage as a featured performer in benefit performances for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

your icon is from 'White Zombie' the movie right?

[morienos.livejournal.com]

It is indeed.

I have a fair amount from the early 1920s, they do all seem to be vanishing creams though.

You'd think if Eastern Foam still had anything in the marketplace they'd have mentioned this.

Oriental fragrance? I dare ask how one can bottle this and what it supposedly smells like.

[air-and-angels.livejournal.com]

Probably a sort of sandalwood-ylang-ylang thing. Or a knock-off of Shalimar perfume?
Eastern Foam sounds like you're meant to wash with it or pour it in your bath, not rub it on and leave it.
It is, however, a charming ad and I am glad it gave Doris pleasure to recommend E.F. to us. She has pretty eyes.

[minniemousegirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you are probably correct. A lot of popular scents of this era were Asian in origin.

oriental perfumes are a class of scent. as per auntjudysattic perfume site:
"Scents in this family include amber, vanilla, woods and resins. These perfumes are best for eveningwear due the fact that most carry a very heavy scent. Famous oriental fragrances include Black Pearls by Elizabeth Taylor, Casmir by Chopard, Opuim by Yves Saint Laurent, and Shalimar by Guerlain."
