"This is a history of four infatuated adventurers, Christopher Morley, Cleon Throckmorton, Conrad Milliken and Harry Wagstaff Gribble who rediscovered the Old Rialto Theatre in Hoboken, refurnished it for hilarity and made the pagan old playhouse both famous and financially successful in one of New York's most disastrous theatrical seasons." "From 1928 to 1930, Morley co-produced theater productions (dramas) at his theaters in Hoboken, New Jersey, which he had "deemed the last seacoast in Bohemia". For most of his life, he lived in Roslyn Estates, Nassau County, Long Island, commuting to the city on the Long Island Rail Road, about which he wrote affectionately. In 1961, a 98-acre (40-hectare) park was named in his honor on Searingtown Road in Nassau County. This park preserves as a publicly available point of interest his studio, the "Knothole" (which was moved to the site after his death) , along with his furniture and bookcases." (from Wikipedia) .
