The New Poor, 1924. Theatre Register

The run dates incomplete

Opened: January 7, 1924
Closed: —
Performances: 32
Previews: —
Theatre: Playhouse Theatre

Of the 2,148 productions we hold that opened in the 1920s and record a performance count, this is the 1,184th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.

No closing date. 5,632 of 13,459 productions have none, and at this distance that means the ending was never recorded rather than that the run went on.

The theatre record for this run is wrong

This is a New York theatre. The address is Manhattan and the former names are Broadway names, but the record is filed as West End and its coordinates, architect and history were taken from the London theatre of the same name. Every one of these names exists on both streets. Reported to broadway-data as issue #97.

1 of these 12 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 11 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name — so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.

Producer: Alex. A. Aarons

A producer is one string on this record, however many people or companies it names. Directors and choreographers are held both as text and as identifiers; where an identifier exists the name links to a page.

What this page does not know

No photograph of this staging. 48 of 13,459 productions hold one.
No character names. We can say who was in the company and not who they played.
No recording is held for The New Poor at all.
When it closed.
No director named.
No show page for The New Poor. The work is here as a title and a year, and nothing more has been gathered about it.
Reviews, box office, running order, understudies and designers: none of it is held for any production.
