Century Theatre (New York). The playhouse on Seventh Avenue at 59th Street had almost as many names as it had tenants. It opened as Jolson's 59th Street Theatre in 1921, and over the next forty years was called the Century, the Shakespeare, the Venice, the Yiddish Art, the Molly
Picon, and the New Century Theatre. Herbert J.
Krapp designed the musical house for the
Shuberts who named it after Al
Jolson, who appeared in the inaugural production of
Bombo (1921). The show was a hit, but Jolson never performed at the theatre again. Companies ranging from the
Moscow Art Theatre to the
Federal Theatre Project to the
Old Vic were presented here, as well as such illustrious musicals as
The Student Prince (1924) and (its longest tenant)
Kiss Me, Kate (1948). The Century was used as a television studio in the 1950s then in 1962 was demolished to make room for an apartment building.
