Abstract

The Not-So-Gay White Way
Krutch, Joseph Wood | January 9, 1929 issue

During the week before Christmas nearly half of all the theaters on Broadway were dark, and though this week is always a bad one, at least twice as many houses were vacant than during the corresponding period last year. Nor was the collapse by any means sudden or unexpected, for at no time during the entire present season have all the playhouses been open. Week after week during the autumn, six, eight, and even twelve new productions have made their appearance, but the majority of them "flopped" before new ones could be prepared to take their place, until discouraged managers began to give up the attempt to send good money after bad.
