Bertha Kalich SsFinds''
Little Star ON Grand St.:
Places Her ON Broadway

Not SO many years ago, in Rumania,
little girl dreamed of becoming q
great actress. She knew that before
her lay almost insurmountable OBJ
tacles-poverty, racial prejudice, lack
OF influence" and opportunity. But
these were overcome, and while still
girl Bertha Kalich was hailed as a
star IN the capital of her own country.
1hen she came to America and
among the people of her own race
she grew in fame as an actress of
superb attainments. She was playing
IN Yiddish then, but studied the
language of her new country so as
slduoasly that before long she was a
Broadway star.
hailch has never forgotten her days
OF struggle, and in the midst Of her
own activities she has always found
time to encourage others who, too, were
struggling. And so when, during a
visit to the eighborhood Playhouse
recently She witnessed the perform
ance of little ffteen-year-old girl.
Jean Green, whose artistry in dancing
and pantomime at once engaged the
interest of the experienced actress, she
determined to be fairy eodmother
to the child. She learned that Jean
was just graduating from the Grand
Street Grammar School, that she had
won several prizes for her stage work
at the Playhouse, that she was am
bilious. The rest reads just like a
fairy story. The star announced that
the child was to be member of her
own company with an appearance on
Broadway early in the season, when
Kalich opens in Sophia Korona," a
new play by the author of 1The Kreut-
ger Sonata"

But, Is That Scandalous?

sonating other actors of the present
day, and finally began to call his acts
George Whites Scandals" The work
attracted such wide attention that "big
time" and legitimate producers sought
his services, and he began producing
review" shows in New York.
Last year he introduced his George
Whites Scandals" and the theatrical
district of Broadway buzzed for days
and weeks after it opened. His daring!
How did he do it? But he did it.
offensive vulgarity in Mr.. Whites re-
view. Nor is there in the present one.
There may be one or two scenes and
one Or two members in the cast that
could be toned down bit to better
suit the tastes of the majority Of
audiences. but, taken as a whole, the
George White Scandals of 1920" are
as devoid of real cause for scandal as
anything seen on Broadway for many
seasons. AT the same time, there is
all the occasion for gasps and up
raised hands and a bit of blush now
and again as one sees row after row of
Dolls" sit in semi-circle behind Miss
Pennington, singing "Tiss Me-"
But they are not bushes of shame or
gasps of indignation. They are of
surprise and admiration. Surprise that
the girls don't catch cold, and ad-
miration of Mr.. Whites ability to pre-
sent so much of so many girls without
for one moment suggesting lack of
good taste.
And so, if Scandal and disgrace"
mean, as the dictionary says, one and
the same thing, it will be difficult for
many to believe that the producer has
chosen the proper title.
Others may think differently.
What do YOU think?
New-York tribune., 1920-07-25

any one. So the star of the show can't
be accused of scandalizing.
Perhaps there is reason for suppos-
ing that Mr.. White called his show
this year Scandals" because he hoped
folk would go home and scandalze to
their neighbors about how little silk
and lace was used in his production
this year as compared with last Well,
there's chance that that is true
The hosiery mills were not worked
overtime, and the lingerie clerks had
perfectly peaceful period during the
hour in which Mr.. Whites cast Sc
lected its leg and arm coverings.
Of course, Scandals of 192Oo would
be no proper place for going to select
patterns for next winters fur piece.
But, II you're considering casting
about for the most artistic shades in
paint, you'll do well to enter there
One scene shows several girls with
figures that simply can't be written
about sitting on high, white "shine"
chairs, while others, quite as dainty
daub their legs and feet and-again it
IS necessary to be truthful-their
knees with the shiniest of lavender,
pink, gray and jet black paint. Then
the young women, singing something
about the cost of living, prance about
the stage, bending over the footlights
for an instant, while the sticky paint
catches their sashes and holds tight,
and-ls there anything scandalo S
about that?
One thing prevails in the latest
EDITION OF Mr.. Whites "Scandals," and
mat is the preponderance of pretty
girls. II one has thought before that
ne mas seen arrays of the most be-
witching crowd of missiles ever gotten
together Tor one single production on
broadway he must stop for a moment
and wonder whether this one does not
excel There is not one girl in the
entire, company who could be called
less than pretty. There are a score or
more more who could be called anything you
hke--superb, exquisite, Fascinating,
bewildering. And this did not come
from the press agent, either.
IS there anything that could he
called disgraceful in one possessing
heauty? Is one to be DETAINED because
she is charming? If 50 then Mr.. Whites
snow is simply scandalous beyond all
recall
The apparent answer TO the lack of
scandal that is INDUCED in by the
company is that Mr.. White, true to
form, has decided that by ridiculing
his own personal efforts in the show
and having the members of the cast
refer to his work as being common and
unworthy the audience will be more
pleased when they see what he really
can do.
And, after seeing him in his dance
and song numbers in the latter part of
the production, after glittering scenes
and songs and situations brimful of
fun and brightness passed, one is
pressed hard to be forced to remember
that only a few short seasons ago Mr..
White, himself, was holding a very
small part in musical productions play
ing in the far West. At one time he
was member of chorus--a chorus
man. Later he devised vaudeville
act and engaged young women to assist
him whose names, after they had been
with his acts for one or two seasons.

Bert Grant Composed
Many of Americas
Popular Song Hits

Bert Grant, the composer of the
music for "Cinderella on Broadway"
at the Winter Garden, wrote nothing
for the last two years, having been
overseas as a volunteer. He wrote
the music for "Step This Way" vari-
Gus numbers for the Follies, most of
the music for the Winter Garden show
"The Pleasure Seekers" and the score
of Hands Up" Some of his song hits
have been "lf | Knock the l. Out Of
Kelly" when the Sun Goes Down in
Normandy" "The Rocky Road to
Dublin" and Don't Blame 1t All on
Broadway.s
One of his earliest hits was song
called "Our Brave Fire Heroes" and
quite unique story is told by Mr.
of this song. Mr.. Grant says:
About ten years ago while in New
Haven demonstrating some of my
songs behind the counters of the music
stores fire broke out in the county
jail, which was destroyed and six fire
men lost their lives while trying to
save the inmates. 1t was quite a big
sensation in New Haven at the time,
and the Mayor, through an Alderman
whom I knew, asked me how much |
would charge to write a song, which
was to be sold, the proceeds of the
sale going to the families of the six
firemen who lost their lives. Of course,
told the Mayor l would only be too
glad to compose a song without any
charge at ALL and that I would not
only write it but I would also play
and sing it throughout the city at the
different benefits, which were subse-
quently given. great deal of money
vas derived from the sale of this song,
for which | received the thanks Of
the Mayor in the rame of the City of
New Haven"

Scandal: To defame; to slander;
to disgrace"
That is the definition in the die
tionary.
In great, bright lights in front of
the Globe Theater one sees sign:
George Whites Scandals of 1922
And, going inside, the only hint at
disgrace or defamation. or slander is
in the quips directed against the
young man who is responsible for the
two and one half hours of semf-draped
beauty and pretty song.
Is that showmanship? Undoubted-
ly it is, because the young man to
whom the sign refers is accustomed to
being called the "best Snowman on
Broadway" Meaning not, perhaps,
that he is the very best dancer or
singer or impersonator,, but that he
knows a great deal about how to pre-
sent production for the purpose of
drawing large crowds. The box Of
fee receipts for his present piece
would indicate he had not gone amiss
this time.
But there seems to be something
woefuily lacking in the line of scandal
this year in Mr.. Whites show. AS
matter of fact, he appears to have for
gotten the fact that the public is to
be scandalized. He seems to have
gotten the idea in some way that men
and women would rather hear nice
things about themselves, or, better
still, to be left out of the show entire
ly, and would rather hear jokes di
rected at himself.
Is there any scandal in the fact that
a score or more of pretty girls come
dancing out in Mexican costumes, to
sing Spanish song in remarkably
pure English, garbed in yellow and
red Vilhsta costumes that show so
much of their charms that Mr.. Villa
himself might turn a deeper brown
or red? Or in the enhancing scene
where Miss Ann Pennington, with her
dimpled-yes, we saw them-knees,
comes gliding down the winding stair
case from the great, red sun in the
Chinese number and dances and sings,
while a group of lovely maidens lie
about in the coolness of the evening
Go o'clock Nstage time, but twilight
Chinese tine), and Groom the melody
with her? No scandal there. Just
beautiful music, and pleasing tenor
voice on the part of young man who
sits aside smoking his three foot stem
pipe and dreaming the dream that un-
folds itself before his eyes.
To see the graceful little form of
Miss Pennington go twisting and leap
ing and dancing through her many bits
in The Scandals of 1920" is to dispel
any suggestion that this childish ap-
partition could be a source of scandal
