Cantor leads American touch in London theatre
Arthur Cantor, seasoned Broadway press agent, becomes first American managing director of H. M. Tennent in London while juggling projects across the Atlantic. He notes shrinking play markets, high musical costs, and a shift toward subsidized theatre, with Chayevsky’s new play as a rare US talent still producing hits. He foresees a potentially fading American stage prestige amid global market pressures.
