Abstract

Drama
Bakshy, Alexander | July 24, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The past season in particular was filled with plaints about the unprecedented number of failures on Broad way resulting in dozens of dark houses and a whole army of unemployed actors. Yet in spite of the keen public interest in the fortunes of the theater the fact that there is only one straight vaudeville house on Broadway Keith's Palace Theater does not seem to attract much attention. It is only on special occasions such as the recent sale of the Hippodrome and the proposal to demolish this legend wrapped playhouse, or the centennial celebration of vaudeville, held in 1926 that vaudeville is recalled in the press and in public discussion.
