Souvenir book for the Hippodrome Theatre, also known as the New York Hippodrome, the famed theater located in Manhattan on Sixth Avenue between West 43rd and West 44th from 1905 to 1939. The book, from the 1906-1907 season, includes printed music, halftone photographs of the venue and some of its attractions, and descriptive essays about each of the programs. 28 pp. Original wrappers present but separated, heavy wear and staining to upper margins, overall in good condition. 8 x 12.25 inches (20.3 x 31.1 cm.).
"The Hippodrome Theatre stood in New York City from 1905 to 1939, on the site of a what is now a large modern office building known as 'The Hippodrome Center', at 1120 Avenue of the Americas, in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan. It was called the world's largest theatre by its builders," Frederick Thompson and Elmer Dundy, "creators of the Luna Park amusement park at Coney Island. The theatre was located on Sixth Avenue, now named Avenue of the Americas, between Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets. Its auditorium seated 5,300 people and it was equipped with what was then the state of the art in theatrical technology. The theatre was acquired by The Shubert Organization in 1909."
