I didn't learn much about THE CENTURY GIRL, which opened on Nov 6, 1916, at the Century Theatre at 62nd and Central Park West, but I did get several good lines from the reviews. It had a score by Victor Herbert and Irving Berlin, and it was the last Ziegfeld rrevue to be named after the theatre in which it appeared.
One reviewer wrote "Hazel Dawn was as insipid as ever." Miss Dawn was the actress whose performance in Ivan Caryll's THE PINK LADY was the catalyst for Ruth Gordon's acting career, and she figures prominently in Gordon's biography and her biographical play, and film, THE ACTRESS.
The New York Times critic called it "something like a production of the 'Follies' magnified past calculation."
