AT THIS THEATRE

The Booth was built in 1913 by a dignified Bostonian named Winthrop Ames. Ames it was said, gave the theatre its name because his father had invested Edwin Booth's theatre, and wanted to perpetuate the name and connection.

Early productions included Shaw's Getting Married; Booth Tarkington's popular Seventeen; The Green Goddess; what seems to be the first modern-dress Hamlet, with Basil Sydney; Galsworthy's Escape, Kaufman and Hart's You Can't Take It With You ran from 1936 to 1938. Saroyan's The Time of Your Life won him a Pulitzer Prize and Critics' Circle Award. Two for the Show followed a year after One for the Money. Other 40's hits included The Two Mrs. Carrolls, You Touched Me!, Norman Krasna's comedy John Loves Mary, J. B. Priestley's An Inspector Calls, and At War with the Army.

At the beginning of 1950, Shirley Booth and Sidney Blackmer gave award-winning performances in William Inge's Come Back, Little Sheba.  Cornelia Otis Skinner gave a one-woman production called Paris '90 in 1952.  Beatrice Lillie followed suit in An Evening with Bea Lillie.  Vest to a Small Planet opened in February of 1957 and ran until  Two for the Seesaw  took over.   The Tenth Man  appeared in 1959, followed by  A Shot in the Dark  on October 8, 1961, with Julie Harris and Walter Matthau.

Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright  was followed by William Inge's  Natural Affection.  Rattle of a Simple Man  had a cast of three: Tammy Grimes, Edward Woodward and George Segal.  Opening the 1963 season was Spoon River.  Murray Schisgal's frantic Luv, directed by Mike Nichols and starring Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson and Alan Arkin began a reign of comedy at the Booth: Roar like a Dove, Help Stamp out Marriage!, Hail Scrawdyke! and The Girl in the Freudian Slip. 

In 1967, the echoes of laughter yielded and Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party[[/italics]] was given on stage. James Patterson won a Tony for his performance. On October 21, 1969, Leonard Gershe's Butterflies Are Free opened, with Kier Dullea, Blythe Danner (whose performance won her a Tony) and Eileen Heckart.

That Championship Season moved uptown from the Public Theatre in September '72 to win a Tony and a Pulitzer. The 74-75 seasons saw [[italics]]All Over Town, directed by Dustin Hoffman and starring Cleavon Little. Very Good Eddie, a revival of the 1915 Bolton-Kern hit, bowed in late December 1975.

Why the fastest way to Tokyo is also the fastest way to Hong Kong, Osaka, Seoul, Manila, Okinawa, Taipei, and Singapore.

It's really quite simple.

Pan Am's daily non-stop 747 SP from New York gets you to Tokyo over 2 hours faster than any other airline.

Once in Tokyo you can continue on Pan Am to Hong Kong or Osaka.

Or if you'd like, you can get convenient connections (without losing the 2 hours you've saved) on another airline going to Seoul, Manila, Okinawa, Taipei, or Singapore.

Now that you know why it's the fastest flight, would like to tell you why it's the most comfortable flight.

For one, you can take in a double feature. (There's no charge in first class for headsets, and only a nominal charge of $2.50 in economy.) 

And then for those of you who like the idea of eating in a fine restaurant, there's our first class upper-deck dining room. There are 2 sittings (one for lunch, one for dinner) with a choice from 4 entrees at each meal. (You should reserve a seat at a table when you reserve your flight.) 

Of course, if you're traveling economy, at lunch and dinner you still have a choice from 2 entrees on our international menu of Oriental and continental entrees. 

After dinner, you'd like to take a walk, you can. 

Because when you fly a 747 SP across the Pacific, you're flying one of the roomiest planes in the air. Pan Am® America's airline to the world.
