Globe Theatre, Boston (1871)
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
The Globe Theatre (est.1871) was a playhouse in Boston, Massachusetts, in the 19th century. It was located on Washington Street, near the corner of Essex Street.[1] Arthur Cheney oversaw the Globe until 1876.[2][3] From 1871-1873 it occupied the former theatre of John H. Selwyn.[3] After a fire in May 1873, the Globe re-opened on the same site in December 1874.[4] Architect B.F. Dwight designed the new building.[5] From 1877-1893 John Stetson served as proprietor;[6][7] some regarded him as "a theatrical producer with a reputation for illiteracy in his day such as Samuel Goldwyn has achieved" in the 1960s.[8] The theatre burned down in January 1894.[9]
