<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Hanna</st1:PlaceName>

March 28, 1921, with an adaptation of Mark Twain’s <EM><SPAN

‘Broadway-Style Theater,’ the Hanna was located not on <st1:Street
w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Euclid Avenue</st1:address></st1:Street> but
around corner on the side street of East 14th. Its interior décor was opulent,
finished in what was described as a combination of Italian Renaissance and
Pompeian style, and the stage was described as ‘large enough… to present the
best plays offered; but intimate enough to present the quietest comedy or drama
to the best advantage.’ During its first two decades, the Hanna hosted such
touring Broadway shows as <EM><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The Student
Prince</SPAN></EM> and the Marx Brothers in <EM><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Animal Crackers</SPAN></EM>. There were also
significant world premieres, including Noel Coward’s <EM><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Design for Living</SPAN></EM>, starring Alfred Lunt
and Lynn Fontanne and Coward himself, and Maxwell Anderson’s <EM><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">High Tor</SPAN></EM>, with Burgess Meredith. The
postwar era brought the golden age of the American musical theater to the Hanna,
from <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><EM><SPAN
