| MHH Oring to satisfy the Jaueu
BV pleasure palates of his null
titudinous Manhattanites.
Having something less than 10000
heaters, vaudeville houses, moving
picture establishments and amusement
places generally, he seems constantly
% feel called upon to put forth some
hing new and different to hold his in
labitants.
AS a matter of fact, he could not get
i'd of them If he wished to do so. The
Tast majority of those who have be-
come real New Workers would stay
light there If he stripped them of
everything and tied them to an cleo
.ric sign on Broadway. They would
stand right there and enjoy its glitter
md feel sorry for all those who were
condemned" to live beyond the glow
If the White Lights.
But he doesn't seem to realize that,
and so hardly day passes that we
10 not read of some new enterprise to
DO launched for the stated purpose of
entertaining the people of New York
city. There may be some who will
think that these new undertakings are
merely for the purpose of making
money, but their advertisements say
nothing of the sort.
Time Brings Changes.
Yet it is all different now from what
It has been. Time was when each new
enterprise of the character referred
to was launched with bold announce
ments about the high prices that
would be charged. That was before
The European war got under way,
when New York had money oozing out
Of its pockets. Now, however, every
new amusement project comes forth
modestly telling us that prices will be
extremely reasonable. There has been
realization and an acceptance Of the
TACT that money is not being spent SO
reely here as it once was.
| Hardly a theater in Manhattan to-
lay is running on the old scale of
prices; or, If it is, it has out slips, pro-
durable at almost every store, which
/
the advertised price. The very best
Broadway theatrical productions are
bow having popular priced" matinees
Ind there is hardly an entertainment
Dn the island for which some kind of
seat may not be procured for rs cents
Dr. less.
And the character of the entertain
ment is changing even as are the
prices. Fer instance, the old Eden
Musee, on Twenty-third street, recent
ly closed its doors. This famous In
stitution has been one Of the sights of
the city for years. There was time
when something like 10000 people
passed through Its doors daily; but re-
Gently 1t has had struggle to keep
alive and that struggle was finally
thing to do with that Twenty-third
street, Madison square, there once was
the very heart of things, but now New
York has moved uptown. The white
lights do not send their beams quite
that far south these nights and al
ready Twenty-third street is lined with
For Rent" signs, many of which have
been so long there that they are OBJ
scured by dust and dirt.
Madison Square Garden Going.
Yet another landmark of old New
York has fallen before the march oil
Manhattanites uptown" The famous
Madison Square garden, familiar the
country over, either through visit to
the metropolis or illustration, is tc
make way for improvements. Its no
BILE tower, the work of Stanford White
slain by Harry X. Thaw nine years
ago, will be missed by visitors and
residents alike. Many of the most
notable men of America have ad
dressed audiences in the structure.
But Father Knick is no whit discour
aged. He moves on uptown and keeps
/ trying. AS stated new anRounce
ments appear almost daily, telling us
that ere long we will have something
else tc entertain us. One of the latest
/ Of these announcements is to the eff
! feet that an enormous ice palace is to
/ be erected at once on Broadway be
tween Forty-third and Forty-fourth
streets. Its size will equal that of the
New York hippodrome (Which recent
ly failed as home for moving pic
tures) and it will have several res
taurants reasonable prices) on its
upper floors The lower floor will be
of ice and around 1t at somewhat
higher altitude will be a balcony
where one may dine and watch the
carnival on the ice below. OF course
the ice will be for skating. The whole
