These six Ziegfeld Girls insisted on having their lunch in their bathing suits, June 5, 1925. The girls—Mildred Lunney, Margy Martin, Helen Sheldon, Catherine Frey, Bobbie Powers, and Edith Babson—went from rehearsal to Keen's Chop House attired only in their beachwear. Paul Henkel, the manager of the restaurant, strenuously objected, claiming they were not properly dressed. Henkel was asked when he had become a censor of women's wear. After much discussion, in which the rest of the diners voted in favor of the girls, they were served.
