Of the 961 productions we hold that opened in the 1910s and record a performance count, this is the 280th 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.
