Ann Pennington "GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS" Mack & Moran 1919 Boston Playbill

Description: This is a beautiful November 3rd, 1919 playbill from the Post-Broadway engagement of the First Annual Edition of the musical revue "GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS of 1919" at the Colonial Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. (The First Edition opened June 2nd, 1919 at New York's Liberty Theatre and ran for 128 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 musical score for the second edition was written by GEORGE GERSHWIN (the first of four "Scandals" that Gershwin would be associated with.) ..... The cast included CHARLES MACK and GEORGE MORAN (known as the "TWO BLACK CROWS") who have the dubious distinction of being the last major blackface team to work in vaudeville, GEORGE WHITE, ANN PENNINGTON, ADELE ARDSLEY, LA SYLPHE, YVETTE RUGEL, LOU HOLTZ, LESTER ALLEN, ETHEL DELMAR, ONA MUNSON, GEORGE BICKEL, AL SEXTON, LOWELL B. DREW, LARRY BECK, PEGGY DOLAN and JAMES MILLER ..... CREDITS: Music by RICHARD WHITING, HERBERT SPENCER and AL GUMBLE; Book and Lyrics by ARTHUR JACKSON and GEORGE WHITE; Sets designed by LAW STUDIOS; Art Direction by HERBERT WARD; Book Directed by EDGAR MacGREGOR; Conceived, Produced and Staged by GEORGE WHITE ..... DETAILS: The 44 page playbill measures 5 1/4" X 7 3/4" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, promotional text, scenes and list of musical numbers, but no cast photos or bios ..... CONDITION: With the exception of handwritten notes in pencil on the pages listing the scenes and musical numbers, this rare program is in excellent condition and 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 .....
