		As part of their splendid Broadway Theater Archives series, Image Entertainment presents The Royal Family, produced in 1977 for the Great Performances series on PBS.

		Premiering in 1927, The Royal Family is surprisingly pertinent in its depiction of women who want to have a career as well as a marriage, and the difficulties in maintaining the two of them.

		A must-see for anyone who loves the theater, THE ROYAL FAMILY OF BROADWAY was edited by Edward Dmytryk, later the director of such films as THE JUGGLER, RAINTREE COUNTY, and WALK ON THE WILD SIDE.

	The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis: The Royal Family Subscriber Letter
		The Royal Family is a love poem to the passion, the inspired lunacy, and complex relationships that the theatre brings out in all that are in it or come within its thrall.
		It is filled with excess by a family that adores the high drama of performance both on and off the stage.
		ONE DAY IN 1927, Jed Harris, of the Harris office and Broadway director and producer in his own right from 1925-1956, happened to run into George Kaufman on Fifth Avenue, and while on the way back to Times Square, he listened as the playwright casually mentioned that he and Edna Ferber were writing a comedy.

		He appeared on Broadway in 1926, and won an Oscar nomination in 1930 for The Royal Family of Broadway, in which he played a role based upon John Barrymore.
		March was one of the few actors to resist the studios, and was able to pick and choose his roles, in the process also avoiding typecasting.
		Perhaps his greatest late-in-life role was in Inherit the Wind in 1960, opposite Spencer Tracy.

		Elegantly written by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, The Royal Family had more impact in 1927, when its similarities to the Barrymore clan were readily apparent, but this frequently witty drama remains relevant in exploring the blessings and curses of life on the stage.
		An affectionate portrait of a multigenerational family of eccentric American thespians, the play draws its lifeblood from Lily Cavendish (a perfect role for stage veteran Eva LeGallienne), now in her final days and still yearning for greasepaint and footlights.
		The career-woman vs. stay-at-home-mom dilemma may have had some topical interest when "The Royal Family" was originally produced, but today the conflict hardly even rises to the level of cliche.

	Broadway Couture
		The Broadway stage and New York's fashion industry have always been on intimate terms, if only because the theatre and garment districts exist side by side in midtown Manhattan.
		That golden era is recalled in Fashion on Stage: Couture for the Broadway Theatre, 1910-1955, a new exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York.
		Although photos, programs, sheet music, magazine layouts, sketches, and other items (including two snippets of dancer Irene Castle's hair!) are on view, the heart of the exhibition is, of course, the costumes, most of which have been stunningly well-preserved.

	The Royal Family
		BACK in 1927 Ethel Barrymore was so upset by The Royal Family, which treated America's premier acting clan with too much lèse-majesté for her taste, she tried to sue George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, its uppity authors.
		But then many of the family seem onstage even when they're offstage, up to Bowles's grandiloquent yet subtly insecure Herbert, forever scrounging for new roles and trying to upstage McKenzie's Kitty, who is somewhat underused as his resentful wife.
		Judged as drama, The Royal Family is too often a right-royal let-down.
