White, George
White, George [né Weitz] (1890–1968), dancer, producer, and director. A New York native, he ran away from home to become a dancer, appearing in vaudeville and, between 1910 and 1918, in several Broadway musicals, including two editions of the Ziegfeld Follies. In 1919 White launched his own series of revues, George White's Scandals, and mounted thirteen editions, the last coming in 1939. He often appeared as a dancer in his own shows, which he regularly directed and wrote material for as well. His other productions included Runnin' Wild (1923), which introduced “The Charleston,” Manhattan Mary (1927), and Flying High (1930).
