 No matter where you may be in Gotham you are in the midst of a throng, but one never says, What a crowd Is here this evening"" He knows well enough that the same kind of a crowd is there every evening, and also that other crowds equal ly as great are everywhere else on this island at least, and, in fact, virtually all over the five boroughs of greater New York.
 The most nearly deserted section of Manhattan is it's lower end, or what we know as downtown New York; after or g o'clock in the evening, and even then there are more than enough people to hold a rousing republican convention In the daylight, however downtown is the most thickly crowded of all sections. On such thoroughfares as Broad, Nassau. Wall and other streets in that section, the sidewalks have long ago admitted their inability to handle the pedestrians. The middle of the street is always as well filled as are the sidewalks, and even at that there is difficulty in walking.
 And while this is going on similar crowds are to be found 10 mibes north, or up around 1S1st street. all along lower Broadway, at Times square-in fact, all /. over the little old island. Yet every in dividuaI in these throngs is as much. or more alone, in one sense. than he would be in the heart of Sahara, unless he has a friend with him.

instance. How different they are rom the theatre going people in smaller cities. When one goes to the theatre here he enters a regular nest of theatres. sup pose he go down to Forty-second street, west of Broadway. There he finds one theatre after another, virtually damned up against each other and all their brll- liant lights vieing to attract the crowds. There Is the Republic. the Candler, liam mersteins, the American, the Harris, and others within one block on Forty y-second street. The throngs arg moving into eaen G well filled at least.
 In a smaller city, if there Is one really big attraction, 1t is safe to say that other attractions will suffer somewhat. And those who attend the big attrarton have a right to feel that they are inpthe cen ter of things. as 1t were; that they will meet some of their friends and acquaint- ances there and perhaps speak or talk to them. Here, however, nothing of the sort is anticipated We are all strangers, and we are all looking out for ourselves only. We enter theatre, look properly bored until the silent curtain rises-we have no more orchestras at the dramas-and so far as any interest shown toward or Tn others is concerned we might be the only spectators of the performance.
 We realize, too, that this is not the event of the evening. that many other such theatres in many other sections are equally as well filled and that the thea tres in the block we are in are just as we'll patronized. The applause from the audience in Hammerstein's almost pene- trates to those who are witnessing the drama at the Republic. As soon as the entertainment is over we rush forth into still greater crowds upon the streets, and

find other crowds ahead of us at such places as the Danse de Follies. atop the New Amsterdam theatre, the New York roof, Rector's. or wherever we may go for our after theatre diverson-and drinks.
 To the newcomer it would seem that surely all New York must be here In this one section. Yet visit to almost any other would soon convince him to the contrary: The subways are damned, the "L' ii is well filled, me. ferries are crowded, the tubes under the rivers are in a similar condition, and it is rare indeed that one may ob- tain a seat atop an automobile bus or on a surface car.
