Waaaaaaaaaay Down Memory Lane…

This is The Ed Sullivan Theater in 1928 as we look south from 54th Street. At the time, it was The Hammerstein Theater and had only been open about a year. The marquee display is for “Good Boy” which ran from September 5, 1928 till April 13, 1929 and starred Charles Butterworth and Evelyn Bennett. Busby Berkley choreographed, Arthur Hammerstein produced and Reginald Hammerstein directed. Thanks to our friend Rick Sheckman for the photo.

    Cool picture–that’s the Sixth Ave. El in the background. Demolished 1938, it ran between 6th and 9th ave on 53rd st.

    Was that an above ground railroad in the center of the picture?
