KRUEGER

She appeared on stages throughout Europe, and upon coming to America at the age of 23 in 1933, made her debut at New York City's Town Hall. During the Depression, Krueger not only performed, but taught at several of New York's finest dance schools. She also began working with two notable composers. Classical composer Stefan Wolpe (1902-1972) wrote Suite for Marthe Krueger, a work for two pianos, in 1940 while Alex North (1910-1991), a rising young composer who would become one of Hollywood's top creators of movie scores, wrote several dance pieces for her in 1941 and 1942, including Prelude, Will-O'-Wisp, and Trineke. Franz Ziegler (1893-1939) was an esteemed photographer, frequently awarded for his work. At no point did he tire of advocating a free and creative photography. Ziegler's portrait studio was in The Hague, where - as a renowned court photographer.- the city's elite were a part of his regular clientele.
