The Crimson Playgoer

Prospects

Metropolitan

George White's "Scandals" starting at the Metropolitan on Friday is reported to be as elaborate and as spectacular as any of White's successes on the Broadway stage. When the famous producer left for Hollywood, he took with him his original galaxy of "Scandals" girls, song writers, dance directors and technicians. This staff has produced ten songs, eight ultra modern dance revues combined with a series of fifteen blackouts that give promise of being the high points of the production. Interspersed with the song numbers, revues and blackouts is a romantic story involving the principals of the show. At one time, the romance threatens to ruin the show, but the clear thinking of the producer, who is George White himself, saves it and brings happiness to a pair of lovers. In addition to the cast of principals headed by Vallee, Durante, Alice Faye, Adrienne Ames, Edwards and Ratoff, the picture presents three hundred of the much heralded "Scandal" beauties in a series of the most spectacular settings.

Behind the footlights of the stage is offered a revue featuring a cast of radio, musical comedy and vaudeville stars. Topping the cast is the radio team of Sims and Baily, and former noted for his expert manipulation of the piano keys and the latter for her rendition of popular tunes.
