NYFE Summary
Israel Miller's shoe business served theatrical performers. A public ballot helped choose four actresses for statues on the store's facade, tying the shop to the entertainment district around it.
The figures show Ethel Barrymore, Marilyn Miller, Mary Pickford and Rosa Ponselle in selected roles. Together they represent drama, musical comedy, film and opera. Look above the West 46th Street windows for this small history of women in performance.
