[edit] curious why the infobox was removed

this is a nrhp building and the infobox adds the information in a structured way. I'm assuming good faith... dm 04:06, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed citation?

Hi, I'm confused about these recent changes, specifically, why someone would remove a citation?

Also, I'm not sure why we're specifying this is a "legitimate" Broadway theatre. Are there illegitimate Broadway theatres? If this is referring to the Broadway vs off Broadway distinction, isn't this officially a theatre club that people buy subscriptions to? Thanks dm 05:46, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

The citation was removed in error and has been reverted. As far as the use of the term "legitimate theatre," it can be found in the dictionary - it describes any theatre that presents plays or musicals as opposed to one that shows movies or concerts. For example, the Biltmore is a legitimate theatre but Radio City Music Hall or Avery Fisher Hall aren't. From what I can see, the word appears in most articles about Broadway theatres.

Can something be done to make the image smaller? It really overpowers the article. Thanks. ConoscoTutto 13:22, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks re the reference, I was assuming good faith, and it's always good to see it turn out that way. After my comment, I read up on legitimate theatre, interesting. It seemed to be an older term and about drama/musical versus vaudeville. I'm not sure about the photo, but I'll see what is possible. dm 03:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
