Habberton published his critical writings in the New York Herald for twenty years, but he became best known for his 1876 novel Helen's Babies, which was part of the Ruby Books series for boys and girls. The book's humorous account of a bachelor salesman babysitting two small children was a hit with readers of all ages, including Rudyard Kipling. A silent film version of <i>Helen's Babies<i/> was released in 1924. John Habberton also wrote a series of stories about early California life, many of which were collected in his 1880 book, <i>Romance of California Life: Illustrated by Pacific Slope Stories, Thrilling, Pathetic and Humorous. <i/>"}, {"label": "Description", "content": "The Park Theater was built in 1798 on Park Row in Manhattan and was New York City\u00e2\u0080\u0099s premiere performance space in the early 19th Century.
