EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare to be entranced by the magical world of the Keith-Albee Hippodrome Theatre, a jewel of New York City's vibrant 1920s entertainment scene. This stunning photograph captures the exterior façade of the theatre in all its glory, adorned with ornate Art Deco design elements and shimmering marquee lights. The Hippodrome, which opened in 1925-26, was the largest and most extravagant vaudeville house in the world at the time, boasting a seating capacity of over 5,000. It was the epitome of the Roaring Twenties, an era of jazz, age, and nightlife that captivated the nation. The theatre was the brainchild of Edward Albee II and B.F. Goodrich, who spared no expense in creating a venue that would leave audiences breathless. The interior was equally impressive, featuring a massive pool that could be drained for aquatic shows, a 3,000-pipe organ, and a revolving stage that could transform the theatre into multiple settings. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Hippodrome was the place to be for New Yorkers seeking an escape from the everyday. Whether it was to see a vaudeville act, a Broadway show, or a movie, the Hippodrome promised an unforgettable experience. Today, the Hippodrome stands as a testament to the rich history of New York City's entertainment industry, a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate audiences. This photograph is a reminder of the magic that once filled the theatre's halls and the enduring allure of the 1920s, an era that will forever be remembered as a golden age of American culture.
