Haggin, [James] Ben Ali [Jr.] (1882?–1951), designer. Playgoers recalled Haggin for the sumptuous tableaux, or “living pictures,” often revealing draped beauties, that he created for the
Ziegfeld Follies and for
Ziegfeld's cabaret shows, the
Midnight Frolics. Revue historian Robert Baral has said of Haggin's tableaux, “He incorporated drama and historical sweep, making groupings look like old masters.” The New York–born son of the famous horseman, James B. A. Haggin, and grandson of James B. Haggin, owner of the Anaconda copper mine, the young Haggin studied art in Munich and returned home to become a celebrated society portrait painter. He also staged numerous lavish pageants and balls.
