  • CORT THEATER, 138-146 West 48Th Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 17, 1987; Designation List 196 LP-1328 CORT THEATER, 138-146 West 48th Street, Manhattan. Built 1912-13; architect, Thomas Lamb . 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.

  • Carl Sigman Songs
    CARL SIGMAN SONGS NO PRINTING GLUE SURFACE THE EXPLANATION IS THE SONG ITSELF Reflections On Carl Sigman By DAVID McGEE WHEN CARL SIGMAN PASSED AWAY IN HIS MANHASSET, New York, home on September 28, 2000, the most eloquent and appropriate tributes to the great American pop songwriter were not the splendid obituaries in The New York Times and The Los An- geles Times, but rather the snippets of his enduring songs — “Ebb Tide,” “What Now My Love,” “It’s All In The Game,” “Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo),” “(Where Do I Begin) Love Story,” “Losing You,” “Pennsylvania 6- 5000” — that were played on radio stations around the country to ac- company the announcement of his death at the age of 91.

As was his wont. So when his lyrics filled the airwaves again on the day of his departure from this mortal coil, Carl Sigman was going out as he would have wanted, with his music telling the story of his deepest joys, fears, yearnings and pleasures, as well as illuminating his whimsical, feisty sense of humor, vivid imagination, and generally optimistic worldview. ☛ If people throughout the United States and over- seas (many of Carl’s songs were not only domestic hits but huge successes internationally as well) were “AFTER PLAYING SOFTBALL hearing these lyrics and saying, “So that’s who wrote that song!”, then Carl Sigman was a happy man.
