Regarding the recent discussion on the Majestic
Theater in New York, here is an old photo of it circa 1903. If you look closely, you can see one of the
signs for The Wizard of Oz being painted over with a
sign advertising Babes in Toyland.

Thanks Eric & Dick
I guess the Shubert archives
don't show this house because
it was never 1 of theirs
I'll be up to NY next week &
I'll go into Shubert's office
& grill a few folks high up on
their food chain (with pleasure)
Wonder how many other things are
hidden history
Actually, I believe the Schuberts briefly operated this Majestic (and GREAT photo, Eric, to win the debate!). And Chic, while I don't wish to deny you pleasure at chomping away on the higher end of the Shubert foodchain, check with the separate Shubert Archives, a remarkable place set up by my late friend Brooks MacNamara.
