Old Gold on Broadway

Old Gold on Broadway
New Amsterdam Theatre

Old Gold on Broadway was a 1927-28 radio series which broadcast live from inside New York theaters, sponsored by Old Gold Cigarettes. It began in October 1927.

In one of the earliest programs, an excerpt from the Ziegfeld Follies with Eddie Cantor was heard directly from the stage of the New Amsterdam Theatre. The program featured a "welcome home" to New York City's Mayor, James J. Walker. It aired on WEAF and four other stations.[1]

The following month, the entire second act of My Princess was broadcast from the stage of the Schubert Theater, and the second act of the Schubert production of The Love Call was broadcast in November 1927.
