This purpose of this blog is to put together a virtual list/collection of memorable (if fleeting) references to the cities of Wilkes-Barre, PA or Scranton, PA in movies/TV/music/Broadway/books (in the script, setting, lyrics, etc). We'd like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support and suggestions for the Entertainment blog. I'll continue adding these as blog entries as time permits.

George White's 1935 Scandals (1935)
Don McKeon, who has given us many Scranton references in entertainment in our blog, recently emailed us again:
"I came across another surprise mention of Scranton, PA mentioned in a very old film called George White's 1935 Scandals. It is a story about a producer who sees a song and dance couple in Georgia and brings them to New York. Near the end of the film, an agent gets a call from a man who needs an actor for a show he is putting on in Scranton, PA. I love coming across these unexpected references. Thanks for the great work."
And thank you, Don, for the great email.
