STRAY TOPICS FROM
LITTLE OLD EW YORK

NEW YORK-The fate of Madison
Square Garden, that famous exhibi-
tion and amusement place, is hanging
in the balance just now. For some
time the stockholders of the company
which owns the property, have been
agitating the proposition to sell the
property because they found it un-
profitable. 1t is true that during the
autumn and winter months the horse
show, the dog show, the automobile
show and other sporting events or
commercial exhibitions made the Car
den a source of profit, but, after the
circus season in the spring it was clos
ed, the large building remained idle
for about four months.
The problem as TO how TO make
Madison Square Garden profitable
during the summer season was freely
discussed and numerous suggestions
were made which, however, were more
or less impracticable. Finally one OF
the stockholders impressed by the fact
that just now the country seems to
have gone crazy over moving picture
| shows, suggested to transform Madi-
son Square Garden into an enormous
| "Moving Picture House." 1t was de-
cided to try the experiment and the
large amphiteater was equipped with
chairs and tables and everything else
necessary. The house has seating ac-
commodations for 5000 persons and il
the experiment succeeds, it is prob.
able that the Garden property will be
withdrawn from the market, at least
for the present.
If the present proverbial guardian
angel had not been strictly on hi6 jol
