EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases The House of Good Plays, also known as The Lafayette Theatre, located at 132nd Street and Seventh Avenue in Harlem, Manhattan, New York City, between 1918 and 1922. The theatre, a significant cultural landmark during the 1910s and 1920s, was a popular venue for live performances, including plays and musicals. The image features a close-up view of the theatre's ornate marquee, adorned with intricate lettering that highlights the various productions on offer. The lower case, western script text reads "The House of Good Plays," "Lafayette Theatre," and "Programme," with the tagline "A Playhouse of Distinction." The Lafayette Theatre was a vital part of the Harlem Renaissance, a period of artistic, intellectual, and social awakening in African American culture. It provided a platform for Black artists and performers to showcase their talents and connect with audiences. The theatre's programming reflected the diverse and evolving cultural landscape of Harlem during this time. This photograph, taken in black and white, is a testament to the rich history of live entertainment in Harlem and the pivotal role The Lafayette Theatre played in shaping the artistic landscape of the United States during the 1910s and 1920s. The image is part of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture's extensive collection at the New York Public Library.
