Biographical Note

Born Arden Carlyle Peterson in St. Louis, Missouri in 1915, choreographer Donn Arden began dancing atan early age. As a young boy, he took dance lessons from St. Louis theatre director Robert Alton, who laterwent on to become one of Hollywood's most noted choreographers (Pal Joey, Showboat, Easter Parade). Hewould remain Arden's primary inspiration throughout his career.

Shortly after high school, Arden Peterson changed his name to Donn Arden, adding the extra "N" on theadvice of a numerologist who felt that 9 was a lucky number. In the early 1930s, young Arden danced byhimself in a number of shows in the Midwest but was soon advised by his agent to add girls to his act; hestarted with four, then six, and eventually ended up with 12. With this many girls, Arden easily fell into

doing the choreography work; producing and directing soon followed. By the end of the decade, his successin staging shows led him to stop dancing altogether and at one point, he had put together house chorus linesfor 12 theaters across the United States.

Arden spent much of World War II staging shows for American troops. Following the war, he ended upin Paris, and in 1947, began his long and successful collaboration at the Lido with producers Pierre Louis-Guerin and Rene Fraday. Buoyed by Arden's trademark American tempo and spice, the Lido shows werewildly successful, and Arden was associated with them for the remainder of his life. It was during his workat the Paris Lido that Arden also met the woman who would become his lifelong friend and collaborator,Margaret Kelly. Known to legions of dancers over the years as the formidable Madame Bluebell, only thosegirls who fit her exacting dancing and height requirements were admitted to the ranks of the world-famous"Bluebell Girls."

The 1950s and 1960s saw Arden, a consummate workaholic, constantly traveling between coasts andcontinents to check up on shows he had running (concurrently) in Paris, New York, New Jersey, Miami, LosAngeles, and of course, Las Vegas. In New York and Miami, his work was featured at the Latin Quarter,in Los Angeles, the Moulin Rouge. It was during this time that Arden worked closely with producer FrankSennes both at the Moulin Rouge and the Desert Inn.

In the early 1950s Arden was partnered with fellow dancer and choreographer Ron Fletcher. Togetherthey created the Arden-Fletcher Dancers who graced a number of Desert Inn, Moulin Rouge and LatinQuarter productions. After ending his partnership with Fletcher, Arden directed his distinctive "Donn ArdenDancers" at the Desert Inn who danced behind the headliner of the moment, including Betty Hutton, DannyKaye, Jack Benny, and Betty Grable. These early shows differed from the extravaganzas of later years asthey generally featured lines of girls, exquisitely costumed and gracefully elegant, but without the specialeffects that would characterize his later work.

In 1958, in collaboration with Sennes and the Paris Lido, Arden brought his Paris Lido show (girls,costumes, sets and all) to the newly-opened Stardust on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. The toplessshowgirls were a sensation and the show went through eleven successful editions (all staged by Arden) untilit closed in 1991.

Arden's other Las Vegas spectaculars included Hello America, a wholesome tribute to America that receivedaccolades in the Congressional Record for its positive portrayal of the United States, and the dynamic Pzazz!68 and Pzazz! 70. In the 1970s Arden brought his talents to the MGM Grand Hotels, producing his long-running tributes to classic Hollywood (Hallelujah Hollywood and Hello Hollywood, Hello) in Las Vegas andReno respectively. The two shows combined ran almost 17 years.

In November 1980 Arden was two weeks from opening his newest creation, Jubilee!, when fire sweptthrough the MGM Grand Hotel killing 85 people, and destroying all of the sets and costumes for the show.Despite this setback, Jubilee!, with its sinking Titanic and collapsing Samson's temple, opened in July 1981and closed on February 11, 2016.

A demanding taskmaster, Arden required perfection from his performers, and could often be sarcastic andcruel to those who did not live up to his high standards. One of his most infamous lines was reputed to be"Get that fat cow off my stage." Despite these eccentricities, he was well-loved by many of the performerswho worked for him. Throughout his career, he never had a flop, and never had a show close prematurely.His employers never doubted his abilities and readily supplied him with the millions of dollars needed todesign and execute shows that would live up to his expectations. It says something about both the changing


- Page 5-

values of Las Vegas entertainment and the lack of a producer of Arden's stature that no hotel today wouldever entrust this kind of money and control to a single individual.

When Donn Arden died in November of 1994, the lights on the Las Vegas Strip were dimmed to honor him.
