Description
American humorist John Held Jr's amusing pictorial cartoon map of New York's Theater district highlighting the typical journey of young aspiring actresses and their often chequered careers on Broadway, as they follow the "Primrose Path", a life of easy pleasure & indulgence, more often than not leading to disastrous consequences. "The Broadway Butterfly" had been the title of a well-known 1925 silent movie starring Dorothy Devore which highlighted just such a scenario.
