A lot of move-overs and second runs in this 1934 photo:The Impatient Virgin (aka Impatient Maiden) had opened in 1932 at the Mayfair; The Racketeer (an early Carole Lombard talkie) dates from 1929; Dishonored premiered at the Rialto in 1931, and Up the River (first screen appearances of both Spencer Tracy and Humphrey Bogart) had first unspooled at the Roxy in 1930…
This photo has been “faked” in some way, but I can’t say how. The Gaiety and Globe were both on the same side of Broadway, but separated by 46th Street. In the photo, the Globe appears to be around the corner from the Gaiety, which isn’t possible.
