Description: This is a rare broadside (single page playbill) from the Post-Broadway engagement of the Sixth Annual Edition of the musical revue "GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS" at the Circle Theatre in Indianapolis, Indiana. (The Sixth Edition opened June 30th, 1924 at the Apollo Theatre in New York City and ran for 196 performances before going on the road.) ..... This series of revues, produced by White from 1919 through 1939, were given to elaborate show numbers much like the "Ziegfeld Follies", but were less ornate and cumbersome. Their comedy tended to be far more topical and, because White had been a dancer, the productions were fast paced and featured better choreography and music than similar revues. The scenery and curtains for this, the sixth edition of the "Scandals" were designed by ERTE and the musical score was written by GEORGE GERSHWIN and included the Gershwin standard "Somebody Loves Me" ..... The cast included NYRA BROWN, the LEELAND SISTERS, GENE DeNARDO, JOHN HOLDER, FREDDIE LIGHTNER, WILMA VIVIENNE, ACE CEDRICK, JACK KIMM, WALTER DIGGS, H. THOMPSON, NORBERT LYONS, MADGE SINTON, VIRGINIA MORRIS, JEANNETTE BROWN, MAYBELLE MELLON, MARIE LUCY, MADGE EVANS, FRITZI COSTELLO, ROSE SCHERER, LILLIAN SCHERER, SHIRLEY SHERLOCK, ROSELLA McQUENNE, VARDA CHALMERS, DORA DORINE, VIVIAN GARODY, PEGGY LUMPKIN, ANITA BOWLES, ADELAIDE KENDALL, LILIAN POWELL, PAULINE REED, HELEN MUNDY, JOHNNIE GETZ, CHARLES ROSS, FAY MACK, SONIA DE CALVE, NELL REESE, FLORENCE DOLAN, MAY WHITE, JEAN BURNS, PEGGY HART, IRENE PORTER, WILLIAM DODDY, CHARLES ROSS and the GEORGE WHITE BEAUTY CHORUS ..... CREDITS: Music by GEORGE GERSHWIN ("Girl Crazy", "Lady, Be Good!", "Oh, Kay!", "Funny Face", "Rosalie", "Of Thee I Sing", "Porgy and Bess", "George White's Scandals"); Book by WILLIAM K. WELLS and GEORGE WHITE; Lyrics by B. C. DeSYLVA; Additional Lyrics by NYRA BROWN; Costumes and Curtains made in Paris by MAX WELDY from designs by ERTE; Conceived, Produced and Directed by GEORGE WHITE ..... DETAILS: The single page, two-sided playbill measures 5" X 9 1/2" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, scenes and musical numbers, but no cast photos or bios ..... CONDITION: (Please Note!) There are some handwritten notes in pencil, three horizontal folds, small tears at the folds, light creasing and minor edge wear. Despite these flaws, this rare playbill will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any musical theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
