Edward G. Robinson appeared at the Elitch Theatre in 1921 and 1922 as a member of the summer stock company.
In 1958 (after starring in several Hollywood hits, including Key Largo, Night Has a Thousand Eyes, and Little Caesar with Elitch alumnus, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.) he returned to Denver with a tour of Middle of the Night and he stopped by the theatre to reminisce.
Of this time, Whitfield Connor recalled that in 1958 “Robinson returned (to Elitch Theatre) … as a visitor, sat out front to look at the stage than went backstage and wrote on Connor’s dressing room mirror, ‘Good luck to the leading man. Eddie Robinson.’”
