George Gershwin "GEORGE WHITE SCANDALS" B. G. De Sylva 1924 Broadway Sheet Music

Description: This is a rare piece of sheet music for the song "SOMEBODY LOVES ME" from the Original Broadway production of the Sixth Annual Edition of the musical revue "GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS" at the Apollo Theatre in New York City. (The Sixth Edition opened June 30th, 1924 and ran for 196 performances before going on the road.) ..... This series of revues, produced by White from 1919 through 1939, were given to elaborate show numbers much like the "Ziegfeld Follies", but were 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. The scenery and curtains for this, the sixth edition of the "Scandals" were designed by ERTE and the musical score was written by GEORGE GERSHWIN and included the Gershwin standard "Somebody Loves Me" ..... The cast included LOUISE BROOKS (making her Broadway debut), the WILLIAMS SISTERS, HARRY MORRISSEY, JIM CARTY, WILL MAHONEY, TOM ROSS, JAMES MILLER, OLIVE VAUGHN, NEWTON ALEXANDER, FRED LYONS, WINNIE LIGHTNER, THEA LIGHTNER, LESTER ALLEN, TOM PATRICOLA, HELEN HUDSON, PEGGY DOLAN, RICHARD BOLD, the DE MARCOS, VIOLET ANDERSON, NORMA CLOOS, EDITH NASH, FAY CULMER, CLARA SCOTT, JEAN SCOTT, KATHERINE CHAPMAN, JEAN DARLING, FLORENCE O'NEILL, MILDRED KLAW, SALLY STARR, JEAN CULLEN, ALICE WILKIE, DOROTHY FENRON, GEORGIA LURCH, BEE SAVAGE, HAZEL DONNELLY, DOROTHY SEBASTIAN, VIOLA GRIFFITH, THE ELM CITY FOUR and the GEORGE WHITE BEAUTY CHORUS .....
