Mae West: Harry Warren

During the revival of "Diamond Lil," featured with MAE WEST, was Harry Warren.
• • Born (like Mae) during 1893 in Brooklyn, New York, Harry Warren [1893 — 1981] performed in the Naughty 90s comedy-melodrama in the role of Jerry.
• • Harry Warren — — who died on 22 September 1981 — — was featured in three different productions of Mae's Broadway blockbuster: 14 September 1951 — 10 November 1951 at the Broadway Theatre; 7 September 1949 — 21 January 1950 at the Plymouth Theatre; 5 February 1949 — 26 February 1949 at the Coronet Theatre.
• • Built in 1924, the Broadway Theatre [1681 Broadway at West 53rd Street] was constructed as a 1761-seat house; "Shrek, the Musical" is playing there now.
• • Built in 1917, the Plymouth Theatre [236 West 45th Street], which seats 1093, was renamed the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in 2005.
• • Built in 1925, the Coronet Theatre [230 West 49th Street], which seats 1108, was renamed the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in 1959.
• • Mae West broke her ankle on 26 February 1949, causing the performances to halt and putting Harry Warren back on the unemployed list, temporarily. However, he was rehired for the September 1949 run and rejoined the crew in Gus Jordan's Bowery Saloon — — sixty years ago this month.
