TOWN HALL TALKIES.

“GEORGE WHITE’S SCANDALS.”

At the Town Hall to-morrow and. Saturday Fox Film will have the distinction of presenting the first and only 7 motion picture edition of the famous George AYliite’s “Scandals.” The entire production was conceived and staged by George White himself. The film is reported to be as elaborate and as spectacular as any of White’s previous successes on the Broadway stage. With the advantages offered by recent developments in talking pictures, White was able to produce a. film that he says he could not possibly 7 contemplate duplicating on the stage. When White left for- Hollywood, he took with him his staff of song writers, dance directors and technicians. He also transported his gorgeous galaxy 7 of original “Scandals” girls. The staff had been associated with White in his previous successes, and it was from them he anticipated the success that the film is said to be. The song writers, Jack Ye'llen, • Irving Caesar, and Ray Henderson, all hit composers, have created ten melodic songs for this production. The dazzling dances in the eight revue numbers were directed by George Hale, past, master at creating ultra-modern routines. Besides the song hits and revues, the film is enriched with fifteen, comedy 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 Geoige White himself, saves the show and brings happiness to a pair of lovers. With “Girl From the Countrv” (Tintype), “In Java Seas” (Travel), “Little Boy Blue and “The Athlete” (Cartoon) and British and Overseas News, lticludiii'o- intimate snapshots of the new 11-year-old King of Yugoslavia.
