IN 1920

"George White's Scandals" features a full score by George Gershwin.

Rodgers and Hart write the full score for "Poor Little Ritz Girl," but half of their songs are replaced by the producer before opening night without their knowledge.

Jerome Kern writes "Look for the Silver Lining" for star Marilyn Miller in Ziegfeld's showcase, "Sally."
