Leslie Howard vs. John Gielgud
Leslie Howard produced, directed and starred as Hamlet which only ran at the Imperial Theatre, New York, for 39 performances between November 10 through December, 1936. Why? Because Howard set it up five blocks away from the theatre that had been housing John Gielgud's Hamlet for a month and because Howard had the jitters opening night and received some not so favorable reviews. If only the critics had come back on the second night. Howard received very favorable reviews in the out-of-town run up in Boston and afterwards on tour.
