(

... that the work of the Italian American theatre architect Eugene De Rosa includes The Broadway Theatre (pictured), built in 1924?

Outstanding article - a small bit of work and you should send it to Good Articles right away. Date, article length, hook length are all fine, as is the photo. No plagiarism or close parallelism concerns. The hook doesn't have to be verified by the book with AGF, I'll add an on-line link. Not a concern here, but I'll just mention that The Broadway Theatre has at least a minor copyright problem (but not your problem), and that when mentioning De Rosa's death you're very indirect, even distractingly dainty. I may try to change those. Smallbones (talk) 16:10, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks for the kind words, Smallbones. The indirectness is not exactly dainty, I just can't find out anything about De Rosa's death, not even the date of it, apart from the information posted by a nephew called Fred DeRosa which Wetman found for me. I am in the UK and don't know how to research a death in New York, any help would be appreciated! (Funnily enough, I recently had a similar but even more puzzling experience when writing an article on Daisy Burrell). Moonraker (talk) 12:12, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
