Built by New York theatrical producers, Sam H. Harris and Archie & Edgar Selwyn, at a time when the legitimate theater flourished, these "Twin Theaters," as they were called, were designed for stage productions. The Harris was designed with Italian Renaissance details; the Selwyn was based on English Classical styles. Among the actors who appeared in performances here are Ethel Barrymore, Helen Hayes, Charles Laughton, Tallulah Bankhead, Mae West, Boris Karloff, and Audrey Hepburn.
