- (1922 - 1941) Active on Broadway in the following productions:
- (1922) Stage Play: Gringo. Written by Sophie Treadwell [earliest Broadway credit]. Directed by Guthrie McClintic. Comedy Theatre: 12 Dec 1922- Jan 1923 (closing date unknown/35 performances). Cast: Arthur Albertson, Jorge Anez, Richard Barbee, Alcides Bricena, Manuel Carillo, Leonard Doyle, Olin Field, Harry Hahn, Jefferson Heath, Edna Hibbard, J. Andrew Johnson, Harold McKee, Frederick Perry, Justiniano Rosales, José Ruben, Manuel Valdispino, Edna Walton. Produced by Guthrie McClintic. Note: The 625-seat Comedy Theatre was built by the Shuberts in 1909 for the purpose of putting on small-scale productions. Like most theatres along Broadway, it went through several name changes (Collier's Theatre from 1910-13, reverting to The Comedy Theatre from 1913-37, The Mercury Theatre from 1937-40 and the Artef Theatre from 1940-42). By design it was rented out to smaller independent producers, including Cecil B. DeMille, actor-comedian William Collier Jr. and a troupe that would become the nucleus of The Theatre Guild. The economic reality of the Great Depression forced its closure between 1931-35. Producers Orson Welles and John Houseman re-opened it in 1937 as the home of their Mercury Players troupe and after their departure to Hollywood in 1940, it was managed as a Yiddish Theatre. It was torn down in 1942.
