GEORGE WHITE
"SCANDALS"
COMING TO LOUISBURO
THEATRE
Fox Film of Famous Mu-tlcal
Features Rudy Vailee, Jimmy

Ames and George White Hlm
Ntt
Fox Film scoops the entertain
men world- In presenting one of
the foremost theatrical institu
tions, George White's "Scandals,"
at the Louisburg Theatre on
Thursday and Friday, Hay 3rd
and 4th. This is the first motion
picture edition of the production,
and George White has taken full:
advantage of the recent advance-!
ment In the art of talking pic
tures, wide-range sound, to pro
duce what is reported as being;
one of the most lavish musical :
productions ever to be presented
to the movie-going public.
Besides the original "Scandals"
girls that were taken to Holly
wood from New York, white al
so took with him his talented
staff of song writers, dance direc
tors and technicians. Capitalizing
oh the proven ability of his staff,
he was able to inject into the
"Scandals" all the song hits,
dance routines and spectacle that
have made his past endeavors a
by-word on Broadway. The
"Scandals" boasts ten songs, all
written by three of the country's
foremost song writers. Jack Yel
len, Irving Caesar and Ray Hen
derson. Eight eye-filling, color
ful revues, with the dance num
bers all directed by the master
of them all. Georgie Hale, are
featured in the production.
The film is constructed around
a tender romantic story, inter
woven with the spectacular re
vues and song hits. It is the
story of a young man in the show
who, although he loves his lead
ing lady, falls victim to the at
traction of a scheming young
debutante, a celebrity-seeker of
high standing. Realising that
this new romance threatens to
ruin his show, George White, as
the producer, devises a plan
whereby tbfe young man realises
his mistake and goes back to his
former love.
Rudy Vailee, Jimmy Durante,
Alice Faye, Adrienne Ames. Cliff
Edwards. Gregory Ratoff. Dixie
Dunbar and Gertrude Michael are
only a few of the principals of
whom the large c^t is composed.
The entire film was conceived,
created and staged by George
White. Thornton Freeland anil
Harry Larhman directed from
the screen play by William Con
selman. The production was
made under the supervision of
Robert T. Kane.
One hundred Hyde county hog
growers have signed adjustment
