The criginal title of “Broadway,” the famous drama of the New York cabarets which is at Parsons’ for the balance of this week was “Bright Lights.” Philip Dunning formerly sta;e manager for Charles Dillingham, wrote the play. He in- terested Jed Harris, the producer, who in turn called in George Abbott for rewriting and staging. It was decided that the title, *Bright Lights,” was rather commonplace— somehdy remembered a ' movie of that name. Another title was de- | cided upon and “The Roaring For- ties™ was chosen. #d because it was thought to be am- biguous. Then “Broadway” was picked in order.that there could be no misunderstanding, and despi the value of the title it had never previously been used for a play. | GO WEST ON BUYING TRIP V. F.
