Of the 961 productions we hold that opened in the 1910s and record a performance count, this is the 440th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.
This is a New York theatre, and the address on this record is right. Its architect, capacity, history and coordinates were taken from a different theatre of the same name in London, so we are not showing them. Reported to broadway-data as issue #97.

4 of these 52 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 48 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.
