This week – the musicals of 1920
1920 saw the emergence of Rodgers and Hart with songs in ‘The Poor Little Ritz Girl’ and the up and coming George Gershwin provided the score for the ‘George White’s Scandals of 1920’ revue. George M. Cohan directed ‘Mary’ with music by Louis A. Hirsch and Jerome Kern produced the score for one of his most famous shows, ‘Sally’.
Songs in this program include ‘Look For The Silver Lining’ (from ‘Sally’), ‘The Love Nest’ (from ‘Mary), ‘When I Found You’ (from ‘The Poor Little Ritz Girl’) and ‘Scandal Walk’ (from ‘George White’s Scandals of 1920’).
