This engagement was complicated
by the NY newspaper strike
This date was booked for Nov 29, 1962 thru Jan 1, 1963 but unfortunately coincided with the newspaper strike and was a dismal failure. Some later referred to it as the New York "Mausoleum" date.
It was Mr Beatty's sixth and final appearance in midtown Manhattan. He had played the Garden four times with RBBB and the Hippodrome on Sixth Ave with the Cole show in 1937.
