The man who founded Daly's Theatre and gave it its name, Augustin Daly the American impresario, did not occupy it long. The great days of Daly's were when the ubiquitous George Edwardes took over. From 1895 when' The Artist's Model' was produced up to 1913 when he put on his last show there, ' The Marriage Market,' there was a long pageant of success: 'The Geisha,''San Toy,' ' A Country Girl,' ' The Merry Widow,' ' The Dollar Princess,' ' The Count of Luxembourg,' ' Gypsy Love.' Later ' The Maid of the Mountains' was produced here, and many other well-loved shows. James White, the cxbricklayer millionaire then took the theatre over and he too had considerable success until his tragic death.
Daly's typified an era, an elegant
Edwardian era. In September, 1937, it was torn down to make way for a cinema.
