Easter on Broadway in July

 Boxoffice, July 31, 1948:

 


"Coincident with the interior renovations at the State Theatre, New York, the house
displayed the new exterior look in honor of current screen offering, 'Easter Parade.' 

Even local citizens, accustomed to spectacular Broadway signs,  got a kick
looking up at 40-foot cutout figures which adorned building facade."
