  • MARK HELLINGER THEATER (Originally Hollywood Theater), 217-239 West 51St Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission January 5, 1988; Designation List 199 LP-1338 MARK HELLINGER THEATER (originally Hollywood Theater), 217-239 West 51st Street, Manhattan. Built 1929; architect, Thomas Lamb. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1023, Lot 11. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Mark Hellinger Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 34). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-one witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Mark He 11 inger Theater survives today as one of the few intact grand movie palaces in Manhattan, as well as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built for Warner Brothers in 1929 as the Hollywood Theater, it showcased movies and then vaudeville until 1934, when it was first converted for use as a legitimate theater. Warner Brothers was one of the great studios dominating American film­ making in the 1920s. Having successfully developed sound movies, the company in 1928 embarked on a campaign to buy or build theaters in which to exhibit its new sound productions.

  • 772 F.2D 505 United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit. FRANK
    772 F.2d 505 United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit. FRANK MUSIC CORPORATION, Robert Wright, George Forrest, Anne Lederer (as Executrix of the Last Will of Charles Lederer), Luther Davis, and Edwin Lester, Plaintiffs-Appellants-Cross-Appellees, v. METRO–GOLDWYN–MAYER, INC., a Delaware corporation, MGM Grand Hotel, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Donn Arden, Defendants-Appellees-Cross-Appellants. Nos. 83–6426, 83–6460. | Argued and Submitted Jan. 9, 1985. | Decided Sept. 23, 1985. Opinion FLETCHER, Circuit Judge: This copyright infringement suit arises out of defendants’ use of five songs from plaintiffs’ dramatico-musical play Kismet in a musical revue staged at defendant MGM Grand Hotel in 1974–76. After a bench trial, the district court found infringement and awarded the plaintiffs $22,000 as a share of defendants’ profits. Plaintiffs appeal and defendants cross-appeal. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand. I. FACTS The original version of Kismet was a dramatic play, written by Edward Knoblock in 1911. Knoblock copyrighted the play as an unpublished work in that year *510 and again as a published work in 1912. Knoblock’s copyright expired in 1967, and the dramatic play Kismet entered the public domain. In 1952, plaintiff Edwin Lester acquired the right to produce a musical stage production of the dramatic play Kismet. Lester hired plaintiffs Luther Davis and Charles Lederer to write the libretto and plaintiffs Robert Wright and George Forrest to write the music and lyrics for the musical adaptation. In 1953 and 1954, Lederer and Davis copyrighted their dramatico-musical play Kismet, and in 1953, Wright and Forrest assigned to plaintiff Frank Music Corporation the right to copyright all portions of the musical score written for Kismet.
