they made use of that thoroughfare in
early days, for where solid pavement
now stands there was a wide canal
Many people nowadays. wandering
through the narrow streets OF lower
Manhattan, have wondered at Broad
streets unusual width. Still more pc
culiar was such breadth of thorough
fare In the olden times, when streets
were nearly all narrow. and to dis
tinguish it from the alley-llke byways
that surrounded it the thoroughfare
was referred to as the broad street"
The Dutch called II the "Heere Graft"
CThe latter word had a far different
meaning in those days) 1t was not at
first a street. but the principal canal
of the city. This canal. wide enough
for heavy boats to pass each other.

end and continued north almost to
Wall street. A similar but smaller ca
nal ran through Beaver street
Peter Stuyvesant In 1857 had the
canals sides planked, and a few dec
AIDES later the waters were gradually
replaced by a street.
AS that street perforee followed the
canals former lines. it was much the

after the style Of an American stock
company. at many theatres which
should play in support of visiting stars
of great importance. Charles Nc,
Naughton made his successive leaps
into prominence with the assistance
of Henry Irving, and his first start
came through his sense Of humor as
well as a certain regard for artistic
values. Irving was playing his NOR
bidly tragic drama, "The Bells" in
which, as a murderer, his conscience
is supposed to recall the sounds of the
sleigh bells that had jingled on the
sleigh in which his victim rode to his
death, and the usual careful tnstruc-
ton to the house property man had
been given, but the property man had
felt the immediate need of a little re-
freshment and had turned the string
of bells over to young McNaughton,
and thus when Mr.. Irving In sim
ulated fit of mental agony expected to
hear the sound of the bells out in the
wings" he was startled to hear "the
CampbelIs are comm" ring out
blithely over and over again. Too
good an actor to break his scene, he
listened with an agony that became
most real and heard the bells sudden
ly cease and noisy scuffle and weird
means take their place. and then came
the bells again in the solemn meas
ures of a funeral march dying out
into apparent distance. II proved toe
much for the drama loving English
who knew the play by heart, and the
curtain rapidly came down. But wher
Mr. Irving discovered the small boy
who had caused the mishap, and his
ideas for a rapid contrast of gayety
and death struggle. both he and Ellen
Terry suggested that the youngstel
should become an actor, and on theil
next visit to the Metropole took young
McNaughton from the treasurer's of
fee, to which he had been promoted
and made him a member of their com
pany. 1t was there he made his frs
beginnings as an actor and played the
important role of Touchstone-ths

AT THE EMPIRE.

To see Bob Fitzsimmons pound the
punching bag and note the strength
which the big fellow puts into his
blows, not to mention the science
which he has at his command, one can
hardly do otherwise than entertain a
bit of sympathy for the man who I'M

Bob is at the Empire for a weeks
stand With Miss Byrnes he is fur
nishing the headline sketch of the bill.
Some of the incidents of Bobs life are
flashed over the footlights, and the ad-
ditional interest in Bob's personality
adds to the attractiveness of the
sketch. Miss Byrnes - yesterday
was her first public appear
ance in three years enters
the apartment of her brothers
friend to escape publicity the day after
her first success on the stage. She
sings a song and away she goes. Then
spects the room-his own-and then
starts for the door, determined 70
leave before he sees Miss Byrnes. or
rather, before she sees him Natur-
ally, he is a second too late, and proves
to be the come back" boy. Bob tells
of his first fight, after his identity il
revealed to Miss Byrnes, and after a
few words, Miss Byrnes goes to another
room to secure her wraps, preparatory
to leaving. While she is gone, Bot
says a few words about his longing
for the girl who has just left him, and
adds, And that is no joke, either
Following his punching bag demonstra
ton, Bob makes nice little curtain
talk, and he shows some class as q
monologue artist. He brought along {
film of the fight pictures between him
