63rd Street Music Hall
 

Opened in 1914, the 63rd Street Music Hall was located at 22 W. 63rd Street and designed by architect Thomas W. Lamb. The 63rd Street Music Hall broke new ground when it presented Shuffle Along in May 1921. Featuring such hits as “I’m Just Wild About Harry” and “Bandanna Days” by Eubie Blake-Noble Sissle, this show marked a breakthrough in making black shows acceptable to white audiences. It was later renamed Cort’s 63rd Street, Daly’s 63rd Street, Park Lane, Gilmore’s 63rd Street, and the Experimental. Gilmore’s 63rd Street Music Hall premiered George Bernard Shaw’s On the Rocks in the 1930s. After delivering a series of flops and 10 name changes in 30 years, the theatre, then known as Daly’s, was demolished in 1957.
