Please see the comments below:


 * Prose


 * "There were also offices for casting directors, secretaries, and telephone operator;" -> "and a telephone operator" or "and telephone operators"
 * Fixed (I went with the second option). Epicgenius (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "as well as the revue Padlocks of 1927" -> "and the revue Padlocks of 1927"
 * Done. Epicgenius (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "and lasted for 1,622 performances through January 1996." Delete for
 * Fixed. Epicgenius (talk) 12:18, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "According to Bloom 2007, p. 232, alternate" Should this say, "According to Ken Bloom, alternate..." With the reference given as a footnote at the end of the sentence?
 * My initial thought was that it was unnecessary to cite "Bloom 2007, p. 232" as a footnote, because it's already in the explanatory note. Upon further thought, it turns out that the rest of the explanatory note ("However, contemporary media refer to the Forbes-Robertson reception being on September 29 and the first show on October 2.") did not have inline footnotes, which I just added now. For consistency, I moved Bloom to a footnote. Epicgenius (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Source check


 * References checked: 38, 36, 7, 49, 54, 57, 60, 15, 88, 38, 99
 * Ref 19 didn't work for me
 * That is weird. I have fixed it now. Epicgenius (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * No concerns with copyright violations with earwig
 * " and was known as the "third Shubert", -> " and was known "as the third Shubert" to align with what is quoted in ref 69
 * The reason I quoted only the words "third Shubert" is that I'm quoting the phrase used to describe Cohen, rather than the book itself. The words "as the" are technically also in the source, but this is a common phrase. Epicgenius (talk) 12:18, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
 * There are no footnotes pointing to "Henderson, Mary C. (2004)." Should this be removed from the sources section, and perhaps moved to a "Further reading" section?
 * Done. Epicgenius (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Image review

Some captions I think can be better descriptions of the images. For example:
 * "Seen at dusk" What is seen at dusk?
 * Fixed. Epicgenius (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "Corner facade" what is this a facade of? Which part of the theatre.
 * Fixed. Epicgenius (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "Detail of chandelier" -> "A chandelier, located inside the theatre"
 * Fixed. Epicgenius (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Image licensing was checked and everything seems good.


 * Conclusion
