Scandals of l92O'' is Coming
To National Theater for Week

The attraction at the National
Theater, commencing tonight, will be
George Whites Scandals of 1920" II
Is the second edition OF the "Scan
dals" series and is a much more
| elaborate and pretentious production
than was the one of last season.
The book of the new revue is the
joint composition of Andrew Rice and
George White, the lyrics are by Ar
thur Jackson, the music by George
| Gershwin. and it was produced un.
der the stage management of William
Collier. who directed the comedy
scenes, and White, who staged the
dancing numbers.
The object Of the revue is to traves-
lty the happenings of the day as
chronicled in the columns of the
daily papers, and this requires
eighteen scenes, each one of surpass-
ing splendor. Among the things that
are made fun of are the Mexican sit
uation, the political conditions of the
day. rent profiteering, the Russian
drama and other current events.
or course, in a musical revue there
is no story to be revealed, but IL may
be said that the scandals of 1920" is
by no means a succession of vaude-
vile sketches, but rather a distinct
effort to offer something unusual and
Fat the same time to preserve GER
tain amount of consistency.
There is a large company concerned
in the production of the Scandals of
1920" with Ann Pennington again as
the featured member, and II is said
she is given greater opportunity
than ever to display the graces which
have made her famous. At various
a Mexican bandit, kiss Me- doll, a
Presidential nomination. with an ap-
pealing dance for each character.
There are many of last seasons IA
vorites in the cast, together with
some new ones.
In addition to Penny" there are
La Sylphe, Frances Arms, Ethel Del
mar. Christine Wexford, Dairy We'll
ford, Myra Cullen, Lou Holtz, Lester
Allen, George Bickel, George Rock
well, AL Fox, James Miller, Lloyd
Garrett, Lester O'Keefe, a Jazz or
chestra known as the Yerkes Happy
Six, and George White himself.
The chorus is a large one, engaged
with an eye for good looks. adorned
in some surprisingly beautiful cos
tunes, and is, of course, one OF the
most important features of the show.
white has conceived an original idea
Of having his girls sing so that he
audience can understand the words,
which is certainly a novelty.
