Background

[edit]

Cleon Throckmorton created the scenic design. The play was adapted from Jim Tully's autobiography Beggars of Life: A Hobo Autobiography. The show ran for 113 performances from September 7, 1925 to November 1925 at the Greenwich Village Theatre and continuing from November 1925 to December 1925 at the 39th Street Theatre. This was Jimmy Cagney's legitimate stage debut playing the hobo Little Red.[1]
