Almost immediately after being dismissed from the Denishawn dance company, Louise's impeccable timing and influential connections (not to mention her substantial dancing talent) landed her a place dancing in George White's Scandals. Barbara Bennett, Louise's best friend and fellow Manhattan hellcat, used her clout among theater folk to get Brooksie the job. Soon after, an even more prestigious Broadway show would beckon: The Ziegfeld Follies.
