When the play opened, Bogart stole the stage. As Kafner wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When Duke made his first entrance there were audible gasps, in part because he was so dark and menacing, in part because John Dillinger, America&#8217;s most wanted fugitive, had recently escaped from jail. The real-life gangster seemed, in the play&#8217;s edgiest moments, to have materialized onstage. Humphrey Bogart, the eternal upper-class twit, had turned himself into the new villain du jour, and the play&#8217;s strongest attraction.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The play had a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/playbill.com\/production\/the-petrified-forest-broadhurst-theatre-vault-0000002132\">long, successful run<\/a>, providing Bogart with a relatively stable source of income that he could use to make payments towards his debts. But better than that, it also provided a launchpad for what would soon become a lucrative Hollywood career, and it helped to set the actor up for the tough, cool roles he would later become known for).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
