Broadway Stars.

By the 1830s, stars America exported to Europe. The first notable American actor, was a successful tour of Edwin Forrest, who at nineteen, played Othello Iago to Edmond Kean's.

Broadway's first Marquis.

In 1891 the first electric marquis waslights on Broadway. The theater was on Madison Square at the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue at W. 23rd Street. The Flatiron Building is now located on the site. From the middle of the next decade, the street with electric signs as each theater announced its shows and stars blazed in white lights. At the turn of the 20th Century, the street had an entirely different look, with less than sixteen theaters on Broadway itself, and many others in the side streets, or is another way.Broadway was much more than a mere twelve blocks.

Our Broadway.

The first decade of the 20th Century was both boring and transforming intothe history of Broadway musicals. The seeds of this transformation back to 1882, and the construction of the Madison Square Theater on 24th Street. The Mallory, who had built the theater, was a young actor-manager from San Francisco used together with two brothers from the Lower East Side, to the management of the theater. David Belasco, who had the distinction to appear on stage with another unknown child, Maude Adams, in San Francisco in 1877, soon became a playwright, theaterOwner and builder. The two brothers from the lower Eastside were, of course, Charles and Daniel Frohman. The first sign of the transformation occurred when producer Rudolf Aronson decided to build a theater of its own. At that time, Union Square Theater between 24th Street and were concentrated.
