George Howells Broadhurst (June 3, 1866 - January 31, 1952) was an Anglo-American theatre owner/manager, director, producer and playwright. Broadhurst was born in Walsall, England, and emigrated to the United States in 1882 where he began writing plays, later moving into production and direction. He also managed theatres in Milwaukee, Baltimore, and San Francisco, and in 1917 in partnership with the Shubert brothers he built and opened the famous Broadhurst Theatre in New York. He staged a number of plays in his eponymous theatre up until 1924, and continued to co-own the theatre with the Shuberts up until his death in 1952. He is buried in Santa Barbara, California.

Man of the Hour, The
In 1906, George H. Broadhurst threw down a political gauntlet with The Man of the Hour. The political bosses of an American Great City are ready to put careless playboy Alwyn Bennett into the mayor's mansion--provided he will do their bidding in office. An inspired campaigner, he wins the people's mandate with surprising ease. When a crooked bill lands on his desk, his choice to sign or veto is not just between cronies and constituency, but between his political fortunes and his family's reputation, and in the balance lies the faith of the woman he loves. But when a man has earned the trust of the people, can he so easily reward the men in the backroom?
