| Show r e w va h L 4 I 1 aa imp ckner y a 4 hard time old father knickerbocker baa has eudeal w oring to satisfy athe 1 the jaded 1 pleasure palates of his nul 1 having something eom ething leaa less than theaters tb eaters lit luusua aises moving picture establishments end and amusement places generally be he seems constantly to eel feel called upon to put forth some ang new and different to told hia his inhabitants aa As a matter of fact he could not get got rid of 0 them if ha lit te tp do so the bast vast majority of those who have become real new yorkers would stay tight right there if it he be stripped them of everything and tied them to an clec electric sign on broadway broad way they would stand right there and enjoy its it glitter and feel sorry for all hoed those who were viere 4 to itye beyo beyond nd the tho glo of the alte lights but he seem to realize that and go so hardly a day passes that we e do not read of some ne r enterprise to j launched for the stated purpose of entertaining the people ot of now york i city there may be some who will aenk that these new undertakings are merely for the purpose of making tr money ioney but heir their aay say nothing of he the ort sort f t time bring brings change changes i yet it ie Is all different now from what it has been time was when each new now enterprise of tuo tho character referred to with bold announcements about the high prices hat that aoud be charged 4 that was before t the 1 ur war got under way ay when new now york had money oozing out of ita its pockets now however every new amusement project cornea forth p modestly telling us that prices will be extremely reason abler thore there ano hi bown 1 a it realization and an accept anto of or tha the fact that money ie in not being spent eu so freely here as an it once was hardly a theador to day ie Is running on the old acala scale of it prices or if it Is athas it out slips pro curable at almost every store alch entitles the holder to a seat at half halt the advertised price the very beet beat Ti 11 roadway theatrical are t row having popular priced matinees and there thero ie Is hardly an entertainment 1 birthe laland island for which some kind of beat wat may thay procured for 25 4 cents t or leas less and t the character of the entertain k anent Is changing even as are the prices for Ins instance the old eden aub ee on twenty third street recently closed its doors this famous in has been one of the sights of 0 the city for years there waa wits a time when something like people passed through its doors dally daily but recently it baa has had a struggle glo to keep alive and that struggle was finally ended in defeat location hal haj something to do with that twenty third street madleon madison square there once was the very heart of thing things but now new novi york haa has moved uptown the veite lights do not send theft beams quite that far south those these nighta nights end al ready twenty third street Is s linlie with for ilent signs many of which have been boon so long there that they are ob by dust and madison square garden going yet another landmark of old now new york haft has fallen before the march of dup uptown town the famous madison square garden familiar the country over elber either through visit to the metropolis or illustration la is to mako make way for its nc no ble tov tover er the work of stanford Etan tord white elain slain by harry K X thaw nine year years ago will ill be missed by visitors and residents alike many of the most notable men of america have ad dressed audiences in the structure dut but father knick Is 1 no v hit aged lie ile moves uptown and keeps trying As an stated ev anno announcements appear almost daily telling us re long we will have something els fi tj j oter ater talu tatu as us on of the latest p t these announcements la is to the effect let thai that an ono onon rinous noue lea ice palace ij IA to be erected at once on broadway Dro adway between forty third and forty fourth sarp strata ts its size will equal that of the new now york hippodrome which recently failed as a home for moving pictures and it will hae base several res tea tau laurante ta rants reasonable prices on its upper floora floors the lower door floor will bo of ice and around it at a somewhat higher altitude will III be a balcony chero one may dine and watch the carnival on the ice below of course course the ice fee will III be for skating the whole affair Is to be different from anything on the island in spite of the fact that we e already have a number of indoor skating rinks new gigantic GI gantle enterprise then a citie farther north another enterprise haa has begun the central palace hue opened althree ring moving picture carnival which will occupy its vast exhibition halls you pay one email small price of admission admi eslon and you may enter any of the movies therein or paes pass from one to bbb other at aill if it you care to stay through out all you will have had bad just eight hours of moving pictures which should satisfy even the moat most rabid moving picture fan there la Is a terraced garden too in atch abich one may procure drinks ard refreshments while be he in hales the odor of beautiful flowers and tobacco smoke out but there la to more at one desk you may register your came as an applicant for a job with the movies and at another you mar may leave teave your scenario in each case case what Is left will be referred to the proper authorities and in this way you may break into moving pictures at any moment bo so you see father knickerbocker Is to doing hie his real best to keep us entertained throughout all the seasons though come some people seem to think bonel he la Is merely trying to take our none away aay from is us dut but as an we explained pla ined wo we have effected a son of compromise lie ile charges us lea lem and offers otters us more while we go diore and gle gire less it Is really quite satia factory all around one of the charms of living in new york to many lies in the fact that cef he will probity pro bibly never meet anyone the thea know on the street streets in a email to town wn they soon become more or less leas known and if it they make a month and drees dress after a fashion to shame the queen of sheba some acquaint ance Is sure to call them on it bat there as soon as they go out ot of their apartments they feel as if it thy are ate on the stage and it Is up to thorn tham to assume any role they feel capable of playing and how they do enjoy III |
