EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring twenties in Buffalo, New York, USA, with this image of the Gayety Theatre. Built in 1914 on the corner of Pearl and Huron Streets, the theatre was a grand entertainment venue that played host to burlesque shows, music hall performances, and various other forms of amusement. Designed by the esteemed architect William H. McElfatrick, the Gayety Theatre was a true gem of the United States' theatrical landscape. The year is 1917, and the theatre is bustling with activity. The marquee proudly displays the names of upcoming acts, while the bright lights and colorful posters draw in the crowds. The Gayety Theatre was a beacon of entertainment in Buffalo, providing a much-needed escape from the daily grind for countless residents. Unfortunately, the Gayety Theatre did not last forever. In 1955, the historic building was razed to the ground, leaving behind only memories and a vacant lot. Today, the site stands as a sad reminder of the past, a parking lot that once held the magic and wonder of live entertainment. This photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era in Buffalo's history, a time when the Gayety Theatre was a source of joy and excitement for the community. It serves as a testament to the power of the performing arts and the enduring allure of live entertainment.
