had come to be known) went
dark and never re-opened.
Nederlander, in future years,
would refer to the business
failure as "my retirement."
For ten years, Nederlander
managed to stay afloat by in-
vesting in a few Detroit movie
houses around town. Then, in
1941, he was able, with the
help of Lee Shubert, to take
over, on Lafayette Blvd. what
had once been a vaudeville
house called the Orpheum.
Re-christening the theater the
Shubert-Lafayette, he was off
and running in the legitimate
theater business again. This —
time, he would never stop.
He had married the former
Sarah Applebaum in 1917
("she liked the idea of free the-
ater tickets") and, as his family
grew, two of his sons — James
and Joseph — seemed espe-
cially eager to learn any les-
sons he had to impart about the
business there's no business
like. To teach them, D.T. held
to a simple philosophy: put
them to work.
"All through high school,
Jimmy and me worked every
theater night as ushers," Joey
Nederlander told the Detroit
Free Press some years back.
"We never went to one football
game or dance."
Home on leave from the
Navy in 1941, Jimmy, then 18,
didn't loll around the house or
spend much time carousing
with old buddies. He spent his
week-long furlough working —
managing the Shubert, for the
first time. (Later, the hard-
working Nederlanders would
all find the time to work for and
attain college degrees.)
Shortly after the war ended,
he was back doing more of the
same. A 1947 Free Press photo-
story shows him and brother,
Fred (then 15), checking out
lights and backstage equip-
ment at the Shubert-
Lafayette. "There is no corner
of the theater an up-and-
coming young manager doesn't
have to know about," one of the
captions reads. Another photo
shows an earnest-looking
Jimmy participating in a pub-
licity conference with his
father and actress, ZaSu Pitts,
who was in town to appear in
Dangerous Woman.
The elder Nederlander,
though he may have been
something of a taskmaster,
was definitely not one to shirk
hard work himself, and 12-to-
14 hour days were often his
rule and not his exception. D.T.
claimed never to have allowed
himself the luxury of a real va-
cation until, at 71, he con-
sented to take a few weeks off
because of a worsening arthri-
tic condition. But when he re-
turned to his first floor office at
the Shubert after that vacation
in 1957, though he may have
been a little stooped from the
arthritis, and his step just a bit
slower by that time, D.T.
Nederander was looking for-
ward to some of the most excit-
ing days of his long career in
show business.
