Description: This is a rare single page advertising handbill (flyer) promoting ticket sales for the out-of-town tryout engagement of the short-lived 1950 edition of "GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS" at the Geary Theatre in San Francisco, California. (The production opened November 8th, 1949 in San Francisco and closed quickly, cancelling a planned Broadway opening.) ..... This series of musical revues, produced in New York by White from 1919 through 1939, were given to elaborate show numbers much like the "Ziegfeld Follies", but 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. This edition featured sketches by GEORGE WHITE and BILLY K. WELLS and the songs of DE SYLVA, BROWN and HENDERSON ..... The cast included ARTHUR DAGWOOD LAKE and PATRICIA LAKE, LEO DIAMOND, ARTHUR and MORTON HAVEL, ANITA MARTEL, DIANE JARROW, JIMMY VEY, RENNIE RENFRO and DAISY and her Pals, FREDDY MARCH, ROY REARDON, GAYLE WINTER, MIDIE and ROY and GEORGE WHITE'S PICK of AMERICA'S BEAUTIES ..... CREDITS: Music by RAY HENDERSON; Lyrics by B. G. De SYLVA and LEW BROWN; Additional Songs by JACK YELLEN; Sketches by GEORGE WHITE and WILLIAM K. WELLS; Costumes designed by BROOKS; Conceived, Staged and Produced by GEORGE WHITE ..... DETAILS: Advertising handbills (heralds) were distributed or inserted into the playbills of other productions to help generate ticket sales for upcoming shows and events. This single page, two-sided handbill measures 6" X 8 3/4" inches and includes production credits, list of the leading performers, promotional text, opening date, photos of GEORGE WHITE and several of his Beauties, ticket prices and performance times ..... CONDITION: With the exception of light edge wear, this rare flyer 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.
