manage in America but, says the his

the new theatre had to struggle along
with merely American talent.
Salaries? Well, it is a century and

AMONG THOSE PRESENT IN
THE THEATRE ALLEY OF
THE PAST.

Still, why not anticipate? 1t is not
too soon to boom Theatre Alley for the
Shakespeare ceremonies of 2O16. Ed
mund Kean, were he alive, would ap-
prove. So would Charles Matthews or
George Frederick Cook. So would the
Henrys, Mr.. and Mrs, who lived in Fair
Street-we call it Fulton now-and
came to Theatre Alley through their
back gate. And so would Hodgkinson,
the manager-Hodgkinson who catered
to the tired business man of 1900 or
Whereabouts, and paid salaries, such as
they were, to the mummers of Theatre
Alley. They and others, now on the big
gest of ''big time" circuits, gave to the
Alley its all but forgotten fame.

1t was civic rivalry which gave to

no actor is anybody if he doesn't keep a

to contemplate Henry's state of mind
with regard to that rig of his.
John HENRY, AN ACTOR WHO
DARED TO KEEP A CARRIAGE.
1T was in the form of COACH" says
the historian, Gust sufficient to carry
himself and his wife to the theatre; it
was drawn by one horse and driven by
black boy. Aware of the jealousy
toward players, and that it would be
said he kept coach, Henry had caused
to be painted on the doors, in the man.
ner Of those coats-of-arms which the
aristocracy of Europe display, two
crutches in heraldic fashion, with the
motto, This or These"
henry, IL seems, was SUFFERER from
govt. He said: 81 put this marked motto
and device on my carriage to prevent
any impertinent remarks on an actor
keeping his coach. The wits would have
taken care to forget that the actor could
not walk"
And yet Henry did not have far to
walk, at least when he appeared at the
new" or Park Theatre We read that
he lived Oh Fair Street (now Fulton)
between Nassau Street and Broadway,
"in the same two story brick house
painted yellow in which Hodgkinson re-

sided for some years" Quoting further
from the work of 1882, This residence
on Fair Street was exceedingly conven-
lent for Hodgkinson's theatrical bust
ness, as a gate opened, and still opens
(Ah, where are the gates Of yester-
year?) from the back Of the house, di-
rectly opposite Theatre Alley"
But New York was growing all the
time. What was good enough for the
folks of 1898 was long way below the
standard required for the folks of 1907,
so the Park Theatre was rebuilt under
the direction of Mr.. J. ]. Holland"
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION WAS
SHOWN TO KNEES IN THE
YEAR 1907.
Let us see what constituted first
class theatre in the year 1907. Fortu-
nately detailed description is at hand.
We quote from newspaper of the time:
New York Theatre.-This theatre
has lately undergone considerable alter
ations, which have materially added to
the comfort and convenience of the
spectators. The audience part, which
is entirely rebuilt, now consists of four
rows of boxes; in the lower lobby there
is handsome colonnade, with mirrors,
and freplaces at each end, the whole
lighted by glass lamps between the
columns. In every part of the theatre
the nearer may both hear and see the
performance. The box-fronts, instead
of being as usual perpendicular, fall in at
top and thus give room to the knees,
which is considered an improvement on
the plan of all former theatres. There
are several coffee rooms, one of which
is fitted in an elegant style for the ac-
commodation Of the ladies, where they
may be supplied with every kind Of
fruit, CONNECTIONS, tea, coffee, etc, etc.
This room is spacious, the furniture in
the newest fashion, and is lighted by
three elegant chandeliers suspended
from the ceiling.
'In case of fire there are three COM
munications from the boxes with the
street and two from the pit. The boxes
will accommodate upward of 1900 per-
sons and the pit and gallery about LOO
The ceiling, painted as a dome, with
panels of a light purple, and gold mould

WHEN COMMERCE CAME IN ON
THE ROW, DRAMA FLEW
OUT OF THE ALLEY.

Theatre Alley was part OF the pro
fession" until 1848. The Park Theatre
was burned in 1920, but reopened in
1921. 1t was a fire likewise which rang
down its curtain in 1S48, and that time
the curtain stayed down. Besides, Com
merce was driving the Drama away
from its old haunts; the uptown march
of theatres and theatre alleys had be-
gun. An entry in valentines Manual
for 1858 says that the Park Theatre
property was owned by Mr.. Astor, and
that Five large drygoods stores we're
erected on the Site"
When Commerce came in on the Row
Drama flew out of the Alley Theatre
Alley doesn't recognize the profession"
now, and certain it is that the profess
sion wouldn't recognize Theatre Alley.
1t is but the strait and narrow way
from Beekman to Ann Street. Mr..
Hodgkinson would look in vain for his
stage door. The best he could nope for
would be Billiards One Flight Up

wouldn't be accurate to say of the Alley
that it runs" from Beekman to Ann
Street Just east of Park Row, for how
ever suited it may be to description Of
other streets in the vicinity the verb
run" is misnomer when applied to
Theatre Alley. Theatre Alley Just daw-
dies. At midday it dozes and dreams
perhaps of its past, when it was the
way to the "greenroom" and the stage
of the new" afterward the Park,
Theatre. Somewhere between the sign,
Billiards One Flight Up" and the cor
ner of Beekman Street was the stage
door.

Theatre; an item of some slight interest
in view of the Shakespeare affair "a
History of the American Theatre" a
work of 420 large pages, written by
William Dunlap and published by the
Harpers in 1832-it surprised us to
learn that the American stage could
have had APO pages of history as early
as 1832-announces that "the new
theatre was opened in an unfinished
state, and with a scanty supply of
scenes. The Park was opened with an
address by Dr.. +. H. Smith and spoken
by Mr.. Hodgkinson. The house was
overlooking, but such was the confu-
sion from the press of the crowd and
the want of such precautions as expert
ence would have suggested that great
numbers entered without paying"-a
defect which, it may be said, the thea
trical managers of New York long since
bravely remedied. A little cash found
its way to the box Office, however, on
that first night in 1898, and it was the
not inconsiderable sum of 1892.

wv YELL, Shakespeare has come
w and gone, and not a single
memorial, pageant or masque
has been staged in Theatre Alley. There
is no hope now. 1t is too late Theatre
Alley must wait for 2016, when its glory
will be the greater for having been long
postponed. Till then, ash barrels and
oblivion.
Theatre Alley deserved better of the
Shakespeare community. 1t was entitled
to a Morris Dance, or a costume pageant
from Beekman to Ann Street and back,
at the very least. Such an event might
have startled into some useful occupa-
ton the outcast who was warming him

in its shades if the day were hot), but
even at that risk the thing should have
been done Theatre Alley is too rich in
theatrical memories, too full of the
ghosts of old-time stage folk, to be left
to a commonplace fate. 1t is more than
a series of Park Row back doors on the
one side and Nassau Street back doors
upon the other. 1t is shrine, shabby
one and down at the heel, but a shrine
nevertheless. And yet it has not even

AS originally constructed the Park
Theatre had large box occupying the
front of the second tier and directly in

holding between two and three hundred
persons. This box was the abode of the
critics and it was known as-it will be

Costuming Shakespeare, however,
was not a matter of much consequence
to those who passed in and out Of Thea
ire Alley. There is a record of one who
played "Othello" in the uniform Of
British general officer, his face black
and his hair woolly; of another actor
who CARRIED himself for the Moor "in
military suit of scarlet and gold lace,
coat, waistcoat and breeches and white

well, in a modern uniform of blue and
