Broadway Brevities, November 1922

Broadway Brevities, November 1922 This issue of *Broadway Brevities* (Vol. 1, No. 15) is a theatrical gossip and entertainment magazine focused on New York stage personalities and venues. The publication features a gossipy column "Where Broadway Begins" by Walter Winchell discussing various theater figures, including Peggy Hopkins and Oliver Morosco's financial entanglements, Clifton Webb's London performances, and scandals involving stage personalities. The magazine includes theatrical advertisements for the Capitol Theatre and mentions Rex Ingram's Metro production *Trifling Women*, along with advertisements for chiropractic practitioners and a Hungarian restaurant. A satirical free-verse poetry section mocks modernist poets, reprinting works by Elizabeth Coatsworth and Florence Keady before challenging them with parodies. The incomplete "Little Tales of Broadway" section begins a narrative about a chorus performer named Stell. Advertisements promote beauty services, particularly the Merke Institute.
