NOTE: The 625-seat Comedy Theatre was built by the Shuberts in 1909 for the purpose of putting on small-scale productions. Like most theatres along Broadway, it went through several name changes (Collier's Theatre from 1910-13, reverting to The Comedy Theatre from 1913-37, The Mercury Theatre from 1937-40 and the Artef Theatre from 1940-42). By design it was rented out to smaller independent producers, including Cecil B. DeMille, actor-comedian William Collier Jr. and a troupe that would become the nucleus of The Theatre Guild. The economic reality of the Great Depression forced its closure between 1931-35. Producers Orson Welles and John Houseman re-opened it in 1937 as the home of their Mercury Players troupe and after their departure to Hollywood in 1940, it was managed as a Yiddish Theatre. It was torn down in 1942.
