The Warrens of Virginia - West End Theatre Program - 1908

After David Belasco's The Warrens of Virginia closed on Broadway at the Stuyvesant Theatre on May 16, 1908*, and after the summer months off, Mary and troupe bounced around from theater to theater touring well into 1909. For the week of October 12, 1908,  The Warrens... was back in NYC, with Mary as Betty Warren, at the West End Theatre in Harlem. The program, with only the cover and one page being shown here, is typical of the time being somewhat plain and consisting mainly of advertising, but as can be seen, Gladys Smith was now officially Mary Pickford.

*Most sources claim The Warrens of Virginia closed on Broadway in October of 1908, however contemporary periodicals indicate its final week was in May. NY newspaper reports about rehearsals picked up in late August,  but then there seems to be silence until late September when the troupe began touring (seemingly starting in Boston in late September.) Until proven otherwise, I believe it closed on Broadway on May 16, 1908.

It is also worth noting that there also seems to be some confusion surrounding the Belasco Theatre. The Warrens of Virginia opened on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre and subsequently moved to the Stuyvesant Theatre. Complicating matters, the Stuyvesant is today known as the Belasco Theatre.
