GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS: W. C. FIELDS and GEORGE WHITE Fields leaves Flo Ziegfeld to join arch-rival White's show for the 1922 Broadway season. Document Double Ssigned: "W. C. Fields", "George White" and "W.C.F.", 5 pages, 8x13, contained in original legal folder. [New York, N. Y.], 1922 July 21. Manager George White hires "artist" W. C. Fields as a comedian in "roles commensurate with [his] standing and reputation" in the play George White's Scandals for the 1922-1923 theatrical season, at a weekly salary of $900. Fields may play in motion pictures, and compose other public presentations, so long as such work does not interfere with his performance under this agreement.

Fields has crossed out this portion, initialing it "W. C. F." Fields has also written on an outside panel of the folder: "and shall not go on before 9 o'clock". W. C. FIELDS (1880-1946) had been a starring attraction of the Ziegfeld Follies from 1915 to 1921. In 1922, he left Flo Ziegfeld's show to perform in George White's Scandals, Ziegfeld's main theatrical rival. These shows, featuring skits as well as lavishly produced song and dance numbers, were immensely popular during the "roaring twenties." In addition to performing, Fields was credited as one of the three authors of the book for the show, which featured the music of George Gershwin. After one season with White's company, he would star in the musical comedy Poppy, and then return to Ziegfeld in 1925. After performing in a third musical revue (Earl Carroll's Vanities, 1928) and one more play, he would leave the Great White Way to focus his talents... For more information contact HistoryForSale.
