The theater was dedicated in 1904. The legendary French stage actress Sarah Bernhardt once delivered a performance of ''Camille'' at the theater. <br /> <br /> Forest Park was a suburban recreational area located at the western terminus of the old streetcar line in the [[Hillcrest]] neighborhood of Little Rock. Forest Park declined in popularity as the automobile brought more distant attractions into reach. In 1941 the park was converted into a residential neighborhood of single-family detached homes.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> *Arkansas Writers' Project, ''Arkansas: A Guide to the State'' (Works Progress Administration, 1941), 172.<br /> *Jerry Dean, &quot;In Early Days, Hillcrest was 'Way Out West,'&quot; ''Arkansas Democrat-Gazette,'' June 15, 1989.<br /> *&quot;National Affairs: Just Around the Backbone of North America,&quot; ''Time Magazine,'' October 7, 1957.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> [[Category:Parks]]</div>
