1917 Oliver Morosco soon lost control of the theatre and was replaced on the management team for a while. But he was back in charge by 1917, as can be seen on this program cover. Joseph Montrose was his general manager at the time of this production.

October 1917 Part of a handbill for "It Pays to Advertise," a "Farcial Fact" by Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett. Fred J. Butler directed. Thanks to David Klappholz for sharing this from his collection. Note a different general manager by this time: Donald Bowles.
November 1917 Part of a handbill for "Our Little Wife," a farce by Avery Hopwood. Fred J. Butler directed. This is from the David Klappholz collection.
The rear of what we have of the handbill.
April 1919 The program for the third week of "Daddy Long Legs" beginning April 27. It was a play by Jean Webster that was directed by Fred J. Butler. Thanks to David Klappholz for sharing this from his collection.
May 1919 The handbill for "Eyes of Youth," a play by Max Marcin and Charles Guernon. The production was directed by Fred Butler. The handbill is from the David Klappholz collection. Note: the two sides are shown here with each in two parts just because our scanner wasn't large enough.
May 1920 Morosco was still running the theatre in May 1920. On this cover for the program for "Polly With a Past" that's in the collection of Danni Bayles-Yeager he's again listed as lessee.
March 1925 Morosco was out by 1925 and the creditors had control, running the theatre as Morosco Holding Co. Inc. This is the cover for the March 1925 "So This Is London" program that's in the collection of Danni Bayles-Yeager and appears on her website.
In the program Henry A.F. Schroeder was listed as Western Manager for the company and John M. Riehle was listed as Receiver in Equity. Visit the Bayles/Yeager Online Archive of the Performing Arts for other programs from many theatres around the country.
Thanks David, Danni and Sean!
