Hassard Short
From Wikipedia
Hubert Edward Hassard Short (1877–1956), usually known as
Hassard Short, was an actor, stage director, set designer and lighting designer
in musical theatre who directed over 50 Broadway and West End shows between
1920 and 1953. He has been described as "one of Broadway's greatest
directors and lighting designers" by theatre historian Ken Bloom, and as a
"groundbreaking director and choreographer" by John Kenrick.
After 25 years acting on stage and in films, Short turned to
directing and designing in 1920. He made many innovations in stage lighting and
design, including the first permanent lighting bridge (Music Box Revue, 1921)
and first the use of a revolving stage in a Broadway musical (The Band Wagon,
1931). He continued to direct until 1952.
