I came across this in Green-Wood and always meant to see if I could find out more. Thanks for writing this and sharing the story. There should be a memorial of sorts.
I wonder if there may have been one near where the theater once stood. Cadman Plaza didn't open until 1939 and the city only got the land in 1935. The theater was apparently right where the statue of Beecher is now.

Thanks for this. I used to love wandering Green-Wood and would always think of all the stories I didn't know. Now I know one more!
I spend a lot of time at Green-wood also. Kate Claxton, who was onstage when the fire broke out, is buried there too.
