Description:
" Between the Cox and the Capitol was the brownstone Shubert. Its building, put up in 1848 as the city's first YMCA, was converted to a theater in 1921 and knocked down in 1976. Under its ornate ceiling the Theatre Guild put on legitimate drama. The Shubert subsequently provided lighter fare, including vaudeville and film. "Every Friday," recalls Doris Day in her autobiography, "my mother and I would go downtown and...see a show at one of the big downtown houses, the Shubert or the Albee...After the film they had a stage show, and a Hollywood star would often put in a personal appearance. That's how I fell in love with Betty Grable." (63) description " Between the Cox and the Capitol was the brownstone Shubert.
