Timeline

1953

Short would retire after work on 1953's "My Darlin' Aida.

1948

Now in his late 60's, Short capped off his last decade of work with the 1948-49 hit production of "Make Mine Manhattan," which would be his last bona fide hit.

1946

He continued to dazzle postwar audiences with an impressive 1946 revival of "Show Boat" that defied the then-prevailing notion that revivals were doomed to failure.

1942

" Short rode the wave of WW2's box-office boon to Broadway with 1942's "Star and Garter," and ---remarkably--- productions of "Carmen Jones" (an especially daring all-Black production, produced by 'Billy Rose'), "Mexican Hayride," and "Seven Lively Arts" which ran simultaneously during the 1944-45 season.

1939

" He then fell into a bit of a slump on his next three productions before directing a series of eye-popping spectacles, beginning with 1939's "The American Way.

1935

He stretched this record helming 1935's "Jubilee.

1934

Rockefeller-financed 1934 production of "The Great Waltz" which ran for over 340 performances over two seasons with it's cast of 180(!), a 53-piece orchestra and hydraulically-driven sets.

1930

He was a consistent hit maker during the bleak years of the Great Depression with productions such as 1930's "Three's a Crowd," (the huge money spinner, featuring a fine score by Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz, highlighted by Libby Holman's trademark torchy rendition of "Body and Soul," was the first Broadway production to use modern floodlights), 1931's "The Band Wagon" (marking the final pairing of Adele and Fred Astaire atop an innovative double turntable stage), 1932's "Face the Music" (featuring an even more spectacular double turntable set), 1933's "As Thousands Cheer," and working uncredited on 1933's "Roberta" as a production doctor. Short's reputation amongst theatrical producers grew exponentially when he salvaged the John D.

1921

His first major hit (or rather hits) came from staging the enormously popular series of Music Box Revues from 1921-23, showcasing Irving Berlin's popular songs. Short quickly gained a reputation of being able to stretch the buffalo on even the tightest producer's nickel by pulling double duty as an innovative behind-the-scene lighting designer and effects wizard. Short is credited with introducing moving stages, perfume (think: theatrical smell-o-vision), elevators, and the abandonment of footlights in favor of modern lighting techniques.

1920

His scant film resume coincides with him losing interest in acting altogether by his early 40's in favor of directing for the stage, beginning with "Honeydew" in 1920. Unlike others who used Broadway as a springboard for a career in Hollywood (which he could have easily conquered as a director, choreographer or even a producer), Short was wholly committed to Broadway and was an enthusiastic New York transplant.

As a director, almost anyone and everyone connected with musicals and musical-comedies from 1920-53 crossed his stages.

1919

He initially found work touring as a member and choreographer of John Drew's company, working his way onto Broadway as an actor up until the 1919-20 season. He dabbled as an actor in five films shot in New York but oddly, movies never enthralled him.

1901

Broadway director and one-time actor. Short ranks as one of the giants of the Great White Way, who enjoyed a career that lasted from 1901-1953. One of his many career highlights was directing the stunning 1946 Broadway revival of "Show Boat", the longest-running revival up to that time.

1895

He was one of the giants of the American Theatre in the first half of the 20th Century. Born in England, Hubert Hassard Short began his theatrical career there in 1895 and ventured to America six years later.
