c. 1950

The taxi cabs of this era just knock me out.  Edge of Doom, showing at the Astor Theater was indeed released in 1950, and it looks like a sign for Mister Roberts with Henry Fonda–the original Broadway play at the Alvin Theater–is peeking around the corner.  Fonda won a Tony Award in the play, which ran for 1157 performances starting in 1948.  Decades later I saw The Great White Hope with James Earl Jones at the Alvin, my dad having scored tickets through his job at the Transit Authority (he was a subway motorman) for having donated blood.
