Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1000, Lot 49. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Cort Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 24). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty 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 Cort Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1912- 13, the Cort is among the oldest surviving theaters in New York. It was designed by arc hi teet Thomas Lamb to house the productions of John Cort , one of the country's major producers and theater owners. The Cort Theater represents a special aspect of the nation's theatrical history. Beyond its historical importance, it is an exceptionally handsome theater, with a facade mode l e d on the Petit Trianon in Versailles. Its triple-story, marble-faced Corinthian colonnade is very unusual among the Broadway theater s.

    NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. Ali Baba, “Mirror Interview: XXI—Martha Morton,” Dramatic Mirror, November 7, 1891, p. 8. 2. Helen Ten Broeck, “Rida Young—Dramatist and Garden Expert,” Theatre (April 1917): 202. 3. See Progressive Era at http://www.wikipedia.com. 4. Rachel Crothers (1878–1958), considered America’s first modern feminist playwright for her social comedies and woman-centered themes, is the only woman usually included within the “canon” of playwrights during the Progressive Era. Her production in 1906 of The Three of Us marked the beginning of a thirty-year career as a professional playwright and director in American theater. Her plays were well-constructed and dealt with pertinent issues of the time, such as the unfairness of the double standard and women’s conflicts between career and motherhood; her plays are still revived today. Unlike the other women in this study who are essentially “unknown,” Crothers has been extensively written about in dissertations and journals and, therefore, is not included in this study. For a recent arti- cle on Crothers, see Brenda Murphy, “Feminism and the Marketplace: The Career of Rachel Crothers,” in The Cambridge Companion to American Women Playwrights, ed. Brenda Murphy (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1999), 82–97. 5. About fifty-one women dramatists achieved two or more productions in New York between 1890 and 1920. Portions of this chapter are from Sherry Engle, “An ‘Irruption of Women Dramatists’: The Rise of America’s Woman Playwright, 1890–1920,” New England Theatre Journal 12 (2001): 27–50. 6. A prime example is Morton’s The Movers (1907), which despite being a box office failure, was defended by several prominent critics.

Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 997, Lot 23. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Belasco Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 13). 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 indica ted 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 Belasco Theater (originally Belasco's Stuyvesant) was built in 1906-07 as the ideal playhouse of David Belasco. Actor, dramatist, manager and director , he was one of the most important personalities in the history of American stage. Belasco was a pioneer in the development of the American 1 itt le theater movement where dramatic experience depended on close contact between actors and audience. He conceived of his house as a "living room" and consciously attempted its domestication with a facade in the neo-Georgian style. Home of all Belasco's theatrical operations (and after 1909 his personal home as well), it was executed by some of the finest talents of the day.

The received wisdom regarding most of the era under study is that Broadway was primarily a source of frivolous entertainment that bore little or no relation to the turbulent social forces that were shaping America as well as the outside world. Nevertheless, Broadway during the years 1900-1920 both reflected and impacted upon a particularly significant series of social changes—namely, the formation and rise of the Professional Managerial Class, or PMC. This intermediate class, positioned between the workers and the capitalist owners, found its niche and its identity as mental workers preserving capitalist culture, and this emerging class made significant contributions in shaping the modern Broadway theatre.

The club is a social as well as a sports club, offering squash, badminton, and bowling. The facilities also include lounges and kitchen facilities. Social activities include dances and special events. Established in 1892, the Maugus Club originated as a men’s social, reading, and exercise club. The club was formed by a group of prominent men interested in providing social and recreational activities for their fellow townspeople. An early article about the club noted that the “Maugus Club seeks by means of bowling and other less vigorous forms of physical exercise to afford relaxation from business cares and to promote good fellowship among its members” (Our Town, May 1902, p. 57). The Bylaws note that the club was “established for the maintenance of places for social meetings, and reading rooms for the accommodation of social and charitable bodies, and for the encouragement of athletic exercises” (Bylaws, Section II). While originally it was largely restricted to activities involving men, by the 1950s it had “developed into a family club … practically all functions now provide for mixed participation” (The New Maugus Club, brochure, 1953).
