At the Dixie.
The motion pictures bring their
daily message of consolation to all
who are unduly burdened. Little
mothers, lonesome men and women,
the drudges of the household, the
workman. the office man, the mer.
chant, the professional man and peo-
pie in all walks of life are the con-
slant patrons of the movies In this
age of service from man to man the
thought of pleasing so deserving an
audience ought to prove a source OF
perpetual inspiration, and judging
from the tremendous crowds which
have attended the Dixie during the

of this popular theatre have been
abundantly rewarded The programs

To change private residence in
Twentieth street into business build
ing Is allowed. but an attempt 10 do 80
on FOrtieth street is halted by an in
junction; to erect tenement house on
Tenth avenue makes an owner subject
to money damages. but apartment
houses OF fifteen or more stories are
permitted in the exclusive West Sew n
ties and in the Murray Hill district. An
upd- rtaking establishment Is not objec-
tlonabe on Madison avenue, but bak-
er's shop amounts to nuisance on
Southern Boulevard, a parafiine refinery
Is nuisance In the Erie Basin but the
elevated railroad is not an obnoxious
use in The Bronx. An apartment house
is private dwelling on West Seventy
eighth street, but three family house
Is not a private house on Sedgwick
avenue.
What makes the situation worse is
the circumstance that the courts,
though failing to enforce them, ever
hold the covenants against a sellers in
terest and always an inCumbrance. No
matter how ridiculous II may seem, for
Instance, TO enforce private house
covenant at Thlrty-fourth street and
Broadway or one against the erection
OF a fiat house on East lO6th street, the
fact remains that any one who attempts
to sell certain properties in either local
ity without making solemn mention OF
the covenant In his contract IL liable to
have his title rejected.
These conditions are intolerable but
cannot be remedied TIL the attention OF
the courts has been called to the condi-
lions. 1t Is proposed TO do 30 by a
memorandum or in such other manner
az seems feasible to the end that the
evil may be corrected. The Mayors
coming board will meet these dificul-
ties, The question OF restrictive COW
enants Will play very important part
In any coming plan which may be
| adopted by the Mayors committee.
