Rocket, they have neither witnessed
nor heard of any crime in the west
coast studios.
Ray Rocket declares that he has
never heard of case of riot. bur
glary. assault. murder. embezzlement,
labor violence or anything else more
serious than quarrel between a
director and his wife. and that in
eight years intimate association with
the business stats. actor bodies and
working people of seven studios he
has never seen an arrest. a woman in
suited or disgraceful happening on
the lot.
AL Rocket estimates that during the
eight years of his experience in pic
lures he has been in close association
with 10000 picture workers of all
classes, and the worst he has seen in
the way of disorder was one fist fight.
He adds that the police blotters show
practically no offenders from the stu
dos. except for speeding. and few Of
these.
The Rockets claim for the motion
picture industry cleaner record
than any other industry in the United
States. and they call upon the world
to successfully challenge this state
ment.

Whites scandals of 1921"

The National Theater will reopen
next Sunday night with George
Whites Scandals of 1921" the third
series. Both of the previous revues
by White received their premieres in
Washington. but this year the first
production of the new Scandals"
will be given in Atlantic City tomor-
row night. Thence it will be brought
to the National going direct from
Washington to New York city. where
the Scandals will enter into competi-
tion with the other Broadway summer
shows. This year White returns to the
Liberty Theater, where the Scandals
of 1919" was produced.
For the Scandals of 1921" Arthur
(Rugs) Baer. newspaper humorist
and jokesmith, has furnished the
book. with lyrics by Arthur Jackson
and music by George Gorshwin. 1t has
been stage managed by George White
himself. with the assistance of John
Meehin. formerly general stage di-
rector for George NJ Cohan.
Whites production of last year was
very big one from a scenic view
point. but now it is said that in the
matter of appointments and pictur-
esque display. the scandals of 1921"
will be still greater and more beau
tiful. There are eighteen or twenty
scenes in this years review. which
have been conceived and executed un-
der the supervision of art director
Herbert Ward. To show the magni-
tude of the production it can be stated
that it requires the use of five of the
largest size railroad baggage cars to
transport the effects
The company this year numbers over
hundred people and the cast is again
headed by Ann Pennington. who will
have'new dances and specialties to offer
her admirers. Others are Aunt Jemima,
Olive Vaughn. Victoria Herbert Joan
Ford. Myra Cullen. Christine Wexford,
Dairy Wexford. Geraldine Alexander.
