Kevin - responding to your comment in 2017. Archivist here at NYPL for the Performing Arts. I just finished re-housing the theatre folder for the Prospect (Bronx). There is only one item in the folder - a newspaper clipping from NY Times Aug 21, 1934 saying: “Two Theatres to Open (title): Signs that the new Yiddish theatrical season is gradually bestirring itself after a long interval of silence are made known in two announcements concerning outlying houses. For the coming season the Prospect Theatre in the Bronx will be operated by Nathan Goldberg and Jacob Jacobs, actor-managers. Before the opening early next month the theatre will be extensively renovated. The bills will consist of musical comedies, operettas and dramatic attractions. A resident company will appear in them. In Brooklyn the Hopkinson Theatre also will reopen its doors early next month. Anna Miels, a musical comedy actress, has been engaged to appear in the leading feminine roles opposite Julius Nathanson.”
