Selznick’s first production since “Gone With the Wind” was also based on a best-selling novel, but of a different genre…By this time, “GWTW” had just reached Loew’s neighborhood theatres, but was still in its reserved-seat engagement at the Astor in Times Square.
Previous Selznick productions shown at RCMH are listed in a rectangle adjacent to stage revue description. Simultaneously with the Astor, “GWTW” had also opened at the Capitol Theatre, but with continuous performances. That run ended to enable Loew’s circuit bookings that started with the Metropolitan in downtown Brooklyn.
I know they are listing Music Hall bookings but it is amazing there are so many other wonderful Selznick films of the period. Do not underestimate the power of Benzedrine. Though I think those pills ultimately ruined his health they allowed him super human energy.
