Description: John L. Golden (27 June 1874 – 17 June 1955) was an American actor, songwriter, author and theatrical producer. His best-known song is Poor Butterfly. He produced many Broadway shows, and four films. The first John Golden Theater was designed by Harrison G. Wiseman and opened at 202 W. 58th Street, Manhattan, on 1 November 1926. The first show was Two Girls Wanted, which had been playing at the Little Theatre. It was renamed the 58th Street Theater on 17 September 1935. When Golden lost the 54th Street theater he leased the Royale Theater at 242 W. 45th Street and renamed it the Golden Theater. He operated it from 1934-36. The first production was Norma Krasna's Small Miracle in 1934. The theater struggled during the Depression. In 1936 the Shubert brothers took it and changed the name back to the Royale. They leased it to CBS for use as a radio theater. In 1937 Golden bought the Masque Theatre, which had been designed in 1927 by Herbert J. Krapp for Irwin Chanin and his brother Henry I. Chanin. He renamed it the John Golden Theatre, the third theater in New York named after him.[22] The 800-seat venue at 252 W. 45th Street had its first success under the new name with Shadow and Substance (1938) starring Julie Haydon and Sir Cedric Hardwicke.[19] After mixed success, in mid-1946 the theater became a cinema. It returned to stage performances on 29 February 1948 with a one-man show by Maurice Chevalier and continued to stage a variety of plays and other shows into the 2000s.
