Broadway Theatre Scene Faces Crisis Amid Overabundance
A New York theatrical week notes a looming crisis with sixty eight Broadway houses and only four real hits. Chauncey Olcott's Isle O Dreams and Eleanor Gates's The Poor Little Rich Girl headline praise, while The New Secretary and The Man With Three Wives meet mixed reception. Viola Dana shines as the rich girl in the Gates play.
