Richard A. Whiting "GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS" (1st Annual) 1919 Sheet Music

Description

This is a rare piece of sheet music for the song "LAND OF MY HEART'S DESIRE" from the Original Broadway production of the
First Annual Edition of the musical revue "GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS of 1919" at New York's Liberty Theatre. (The First Edition of the "Scandals" opened June 2nd, 1919 and ran for 128 performances.) ..... 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 cast included GEORGE WHITE, ANN PENNINGTON, MABEL WITHEE, YVETTE RUGEL, LA SYLPHE, ETHEL DELMAR, DOROTHY ST. CLAIR, LOIS LEIGH, ONA MUNSON, LOU HOLTZ, ELI DAWSON, LESTER ALLEN, BENNETT and RICHARDS, LOWELL B. DREW, BERT HANLON, LARRY BECK, PEGGY DOLAN and JAMES MILLER ..... CREDITS: Music by RICHARD WHITING, HERBERT SPENCER and AL GUMBLE; Book and Lyrics by ARTHUR JACKSON and GEORGE WHITE; Sets designed by LAW STUDIOS; Art Direction by HERBERT WARD; Book Directed by EDGAR MacGREGOR; Conceived, Produced and Staged by GEORGE WHITE
