The Mansfield Theatre was developed with theBiltmore(now Samuel J. Friedman) Theatre across the street, opening on February 15, 1926. The Mansfield struggled to attract hits from its opening until 1945 when Michael Myerberg bought it. In 1950, the Mansfield was leased toCBSfor television productions under the name Studio 59. When Myerberg returned it to legitimate use in September 1960, he renamed it after the formerNew York Timestheater criticBrooks Atkinson.The Nederlander Organization purchased a partial ownership stake in the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in 1967 and became a full owner in 1974. Following a renovation in 2000, the theater has hosted several shows in the 21st century, such as the musicalWaitressandSix.On November 1, 2022, the theater was renamed after singer-actress and civil-rights activistLena Horne.[3]

Design

[edit]

The Lena Horne Theatre, originally the Mansfield Theatre, was designed byHerbert J. Krappin a modern Spanish style and was constructed in 1926 for the Chanin brothers.[4][6]The theater was originally named for British actorRichard Mansfield(1857–1907).[7][8][9]From 1960 to 2022,[10]it was named forBrooks Atkinson(1894–1984), who was the theater critic forThe New York Timesfrom 1925 to 1960.[11]Since 2022,[3]the theater has been named for African-American actress and singerLena Horne(1917–2010).[12]The Lena Horne is operated by theNederlander Organization.[10][13]

Facade

[edit]

Thefacadeconsists of two sections. The three-story-tall eastern section is wider and is symmetrical, containing the auditorium entrance. It is made of yellow-beige brick with whiteterracottadecorations.[14][15]The western section, which contains thestage house,is four stories high and contains a brick facade.[16]The third story of the auditorium is on an intermediate level between the third and fourth stories of the stage house.[15]

The first story of the auditorium's facade is symmetrically arranged. There is awater tablemade ofterrazzo,above which arerusticatedterracotta blocks made inashlar.Several openings are placed within the first story. The easternmost opening contains recessed metal doors with sign boards. At the center are five metal double doors connecting with the box office lobby. The westernmost opening consists of a metal stage door. Sign boards are placed on the wall to the left (east) of the center openings, as well as on two of the double doors to the right (west) of center. Amarqueehangs over the five center doorways and the immediate adjacent sign boards.[17]

On the upper stories, the auditorium is arranged into three sections from left to right. The auditorium's outermost openings, on the second and third stories, have a single six-over-sixsash windowon either story.Lunetteswithrosettesare placed above each of these windows. These windows are surrounded by a brick band, which is laid in a pattern resembling an arch. At the top of this arch is amoldingwithcorbels,as well as a brick panel withbondwork in a basket-weave pattern. Above this are terracotta friezes withfleur-de-lisand rosette patterns, topped by a brick parapet.[17]

The central section contains threePalladian window framesat the second floor, with bracket-shapedkeystonesabove each window. Twistingcolonettesdivide the openings in each Palladian frame, while the outer sections of the windows are bordered bypilasterswithCorinthian-stylecapitals.[14][17]The center opening is an open-airloggia,behind which is a fire stair with an iron railing. The other two Palladian openings contain sash windows. At the third story, there are three openings, surrounded by twisting moldings and a terracotta frame. The center opening is a ventilation grate while the other two contain six-over-six sash windows. All three window openings have a lunette with rosette above them. Between the window openings are medallions that depict lyres. A sign with the name "Brooks Atkinson" projects from the western side of the third floor.[17]Brackets run above the third floor, supporting a cornice and a Spanish tile roof.[14][17]

Stage house section

[edit]
Stage house

The Lena Horne Theatre's stage house is much simpler in design, with a terrazzo water table. Unlike in the auditorium section, all four stories are faced in brick. At ground level, there is a doorway and a garage opening, between which are two bricked-up window openings. Astring courseruns above the ground story. On each of the second through fourth floors, there are three sash windows with two-over-two panes, and a bricklintelis placed above each window. The stage house is topped by a cornice and a parapet.[16]

Seating areas

[edit]

The rear (east) end of the orchestra contains a promenade with paneled walls and a molded cornice.[21]The orchestra israked,sloping down toward the stage.[18]There are two columns between the orchestra and the promenade, between which is a decorative railing. Two staircases, with decorative metal railings, lead from either end of the promenade to the balcony level.[21]The orchestra's north (right) wall has doors from the lobby, while the south (left) and rear walls contain exit doors. There are foliateswagmotifs on either side of theexit signsabove the doors. The orchestra's side walls contain decorative panels.[22]Bronze lightingsconcesare placed along the walls of the orchestra and its promenade.[23]

The balcony level is divided into front and rear sections by an aisle halfway across the depth.[18]On either side of the crossover aisle are exit doors, which are placed betweenpilastersand wall panels on either side. Above the exit doors are arch decorations and a frieze with swags. The rest of the balcony's side walls contain panels, which are divided into upper and lower sections, with foliate decorations in the upper panels and plain decorations in the lower panels. A cornice runs above all of the walls. The front rail of the balcony contains shields and foliate decorations.[22]Light boxes are installed on the front rail. The underside of the balcony has plasterwork panels with crystal light fixtures suspended from medallions. Air-conditioning vents are placed along some of the panels under the balcony.[24]

On either side of the proscenium is a curved wall section with three arches, each of which corresponds to a box at balcony level.[18]The wall section is flanked by fluted pilasters with Corinthian-style gilded capitals. At orchestra level, the wall sections contain a false rusticated wall with three rectangular openings.[22]The undersides of the boxes contain crystal light fixtures similar to those on the balcony.[23]The fronts of the boxes are curved outward and contain shields and foliate decorations. Twisting colonettes run beside each arch, whileegg-and-dartmoldings run along the tops of the arches. The arches are separated by fluted pilasters with Corinthian capitals, above which is a molding.[22]At the tops of the boxes are murals that showcommedia dell'arteand muses.[14][23]These murals were painted by A. Battisti and G. Troombul.[23]

Other design features

[edit]

There is a three-centered proscenium arch next to the boxes. The archway is surrounded by a molded band withanthemia,egg-and-dart, and rope motifs. Thespandrels,above the corners of the proscenium arch, contain Adam-style sphinx motifs. There are fluted pilasters with gilded Corinthian capitals along either side of the arch. Above these pilasters is a frieze containing motifs of arches with fans.[22]

A beam separates the ceiling into front and rear sections. The beam is decorated with a frieze containing arch-and-fan motifs (similar to the frieze above the proscenium). The front section is acoved ceiling,surrounded by a frieze with an arch-and-fan motif. Moldings divide the cove into sections, which are decorated with urns and foliate designs.[22]A crystal chandelier hangs from the center of the cove.[23]The rear section contains molded bands with bead motifs, which divide the ceiling into arch- and lozenge-shaped panels.[22]Near the side walls, the moldings contain cartouches with foliate designs, from which are suspended four chandeliers.[24]

History

[edit]

Times Square became the epicenter for large-scale theater productions between 1900 andthe Great Depression.[25]During the 1900s and 1910s, many theaters in Midtown Manhattan were developed by theShubert brothers,one of the major theatrical syndicates of the time.[26]The Chanin brothers developed another grouping of theaters in the mid-1920s.[27][28][29]Though the Chanins largely specialized in real estate rather than theaters, Irwin Chanin had become interested in theater when he was an impoverished student at theCooper Union.He subsequently recalled that he had been "humiliated" by having to use a separate door whenever he bought cheap seats in an upper balcony level.[27][30]

Irwin Chanin was a newcomer to the Broadway theater industry when he was developing his first theater, the46th Street (now Richard Rodgers).Chanin hired Herbert Krapp, an experienced architect who had designed multiple Broadway theaters for the Shubert brothers.[31][32]The 46th Street Theatre opened in early 1925 as Chanin's first Broadway theater.[33]Chanin retained Krapp to design the Biltmore and Mansfield theaters on 47th Street, which at the time was a largely residential street.[32][34]Irwin Chanin, who built the theater with his brother Henry, acquired theproperty titleto the two theater sites on 47th Street in March 1925.[35]Though the Biltmore was completed that December, the Mansfield was not finished until early the following year.[7][8]On February 15, 1926, prior to the theater's opening, a luncheon was hosted in honor of Mansfield's widowBeatrice Cameron.[36]Later that night, the theater opened with the melodramaThe Night Duel.[9][37]

Generally, the Mansfield's early productions wereflops.[38]The Night Duellasted for 17 performances before closing,[39][40]and three similarly short-lived shows followed.[39]The theater's first moderate success wasIf I Was RichwithJoe Laurie Jr.,which opened in September 1926[41]and had 92 performances.[39][42]The LadderwithAntoinette Perryopened at the Mansfield the next month,[43]running for several hundred performances across numerous theaters.[44][45]This was followed by arevivalofEugene O'Neill'sBeyond the Horizon.[46][47]At the end of the year, the Mansfield staged three Hebrew-language plays performed by the Habima Players of Moscow,[33][48]includingThe Dybbuk.[49][50]A revival of theHenrik IbsenplayGhosts,withMinnie Maddern Fiske,had 24 performances at the beginning of 1927.[39][51]The theater hosted short-lived plays for the rest of that year.[52]That April, the Mansfield was sold to Irving Lewine, who leased the theater back to the Chanins for 63 years.[53][54]

In August 1927, Charles L. Wagner arranged to operate the Mansfield for a year.[55]Just before Wagner was scheduled to assume operation that October,Lew Fieldstook over the lease and Wagner's shows were relocated to another theater.[56][57]Fields planned to stage at least four shows and rename the theater for himself.[58]The beginning of 1928 saw short runs of the playsMongolia[59][60]andAtlas and Eva.[52][61]The first Fields production at the Mansfield was theRodgers and HartmusicalPresent Armsin April 1928,[38][62]which ran for 147 performances.[63][64]The theater's sign was changed to display the name "Lew Fields Theatre", though programs referred to the house as "Lew Fields's Mansfield Theatre".[65]Rodgers and Hart also wrote the music forChee-Chee,[63][66][67]which was much less popular thanPresent Arms.[68]At the end of the year, Lew Fields starred inHello, Daddy,which was produced by his childrenDorothyandHerbert Fields;[69][70]it had 198 performances.[63][71]The theater reverted to its original name in March 1929 with the opening of the flopIndiscretion.[72]

The next success at the Mansfield wasMarc Connelly'sThe Green Pastures,which opened in February 1930.[73][74]With a cast composed entirely of Black actors,[75]it ultimately ran 640 performances.[76][77]This was followed by numerous flops, which established the Mansfield Theatre as a "jinx house".[78]The Chanins ultimately lost control of the Mansfield and their other theaters during the Depression.[79][80]In October 1931, the Chanins relinquished their lease on the Mansfield to Irving Lewine.[81][80]At the end of the year, theGroup Theatrebegan presenting its productions at the Mansfield,[82][83]first staging1931-[84]and thenThe House of Connelly.[85][86]The Mansfield did not host any productions from March to December 1932.[87]TheMutual Life Insurance Companysubsequently foreclosed on the theater, and it was purchased by Nyamco Associates Inc. in October 1932 for $354,000.[88][89]In the foreclosure process, all the theater's furnishings were removed. The same month as Nyamco's acquisition, Ray K. Bartlett and Edgar Allen took over the Mansfield for two years and reinstalled the furnishings.[90]

The Mansfield reopened in December 1932 with theShuffle Alongof 1933,[68][91]which closed after just 17 performances.[92]In June 1933, the theater was leased to the syndicate Players League Inc. for 19 months.[93]The theater did not have any particularly distinguished shows in 1933 or 1934,[68]butGeorge Abbottdirected the moderately successful comedyPage Miss Gloryin late 1934.[63][94]The next year, the Mansfield had a transfer ofMoon Over Mulberry Street,[68]as well as a run ofOn StagewithOsgood Perkins.[95][96]This was followed in 1937 byAntony and CleopatrafeaturingTallulah Bankhead,[82][97]as well asBehind Red Lights,which ran for 176 performances.[98][99]In 1938, the Shuberts proposed leasing the Mansfield at $14,000 a year, an extremely favorable rate compared to other theaters;[100]they ultimately took the theater for a year and renovated it.[101]The theater then hosted a transfer of the long-runningWhat a Lifein 1939,[102][103]as well as the Group Theatre'sThunder RockfeaturingLee J. CobbandFrances Farmer.[104][105]

The Mansfield's next hit wasRuth Gordon'sYears Ago,which opened in 1946[121]which ran for 206 performances.[122][123]For the most part, the Mansfield hosted short runs during 1947.[82]A revival of the musicalThe Cradle Will Rockopened at the end of that year[124]and ran for two weeks.[122][125]TheDublin Gate Theatreperformed three shows at the Mansfield in February and March 1948,[82][126]followed in April by theBillie HolidayRevue.[82][127]The Mansfield's final productions of the decade includedRed Glovesin 1948[122][128][129]andLend an Earin 1949.[130]DuMont Television Networkconsidered leasing the Mansfield during the 1949 season, but the Shuberts operated the theater instead when DuMont decided against using it.[131]The Mansfield hostedAll You Need Is One Good Breakin February 1950,[132]and theJean AnouilhplayPeacockran just two performances that April.[133]

CBS studio and renaming

[edit]

The Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) leased the Mansfield in August 1950 for five years,[131][134]paying a very favorable annual rental of between $85,000 and $100,000.[131]Ultimately, CBS used the theater for ten years.[135]Known as CBS Studio 59, the theater was used to broadcast the long-running panel showsWhat's My Line?andI've Got a Secret.[136][137]CBS also used the theater for shows such asShowcase,which showed actors in short clips.[138][139]In 1958, Roger L. Stevens considered leasing the Mansfield Theatre from Myerberg, who still owned it.[140]

Myerberg announced in mid-1960 that the former Mansfield Theatre would be renovated and reopened as a legitimate theater.[135][141]The Mansfield was renamed afterBrooks Atkinson,who had then recently retired as the theatrical critic forThe New York Times.[142][143]The Brooks Atkinson would be the first Broadway theater to be named for a theatre critic,[144]as well as the second named for a newspaper writer, beside theMark Hellinger Theatre.[143]The theater was renamed at a ceremony on September 7, 1960.[145]
