Populated so Far This Season by
as Large Public as lnhabits
Third Largest City
in America.

Charles Dillingham; has just had the
distinction of reaching the high record
for performances among this years
theatrical successes in New York, his
joyous spectacle, Everything" having
passed it's three hundredth presenta-
ton at the New York HippOdrome
Two other attractions, "Friendly Enc
miles, and ''Three Faces East" open
ed earlier than "Everything," but as
the Hippodrome gives two perform
ances daily it has reached it's third
century mile post first, and it's achieve
ment is especially notable because of
the enormous capacity of the huge
playhouse on Sixth avenue, with it's
seating facilities for over 5000 pa
irons. In common with all Broadway
theaters, the Hippodrome is enjoying
period of unprecedented February
patronage, but the December and Jan
uary attendance was also without par
allel in the career of this magnificent
institution, and, with the single ex-
ceptiOn of few weeks in October,
there is no comparison, week by week,
to be found in the records of years
gone by.

steal comedies have gone from New

duced "The Canary to New York au-
diences at his Globe theater. Enter
ing the fifth month of it's run on Broad
way, this delightful entertainment con-
tinues to attract capacity taxing audi
ences to every performance, while the
demand for tickets for the future is so
strong and so steady that there is no
question but what the piece will equal
the popularity records established by
its most famous predecessors in this
theater The most successful of mu-
sicial comedy star combinations, to wit,
Julia Sanderson and Joseph Cawthorn,
in play which gives them better OPP
portunities than they have ever had
for the display of their unique talents
and the brilliance of the supporting
company which includes such celebri-
ties as Sam Hardy, Doyle and Dixon
and Maud Eburne furnish plenty of
reason for the preference that play
goers show for 1.-The Canary" over all
other current attractions of the sort.

VILLAGE GOSSIP

-PaliSade wanted at one time to be-
come a borough of its own Wonder
how it would like to have a few Board
of Education squabbles similar to what
takes place now and then among our
neighbors?
Miller Sears of Grantwood arrived
home last week from his final dismiss
al from the United States Navy. Mil
Ter says he has had enough of war, and
has gone right back to the Cliffside
High School to finish up his educa-
ton, which the war interrupted. Mil
lers many friends and his family are
all happy to see him home. Thus
times become normal again.
The Palisade sick list, which in
creased so alarmingly last week, is
now much improved
Once more, look out for the average
solicitor who comes around selling
things. These chaps are a pretty slick
bunch. If they make a sale anywhere
it is talked over the neighborhood and
used as leverage in other sales.
Il see you good deal with young
Flubdub'
Yes, auntie.'
Il hope you are not going to marry
a spendthrift -
'Oh no. / don't think I'll marry
him. But it's nice going around with
one"

his parents in Palisade last Sunday in

Keep Children off Streets.

By action of the local Council Board
the teachers of the borough are to be
requested, through Principal Drum, to
warn the children to keep off the
streets and thus avoid accidents, al
though in several parts of the borough
this would seem impossible. because
of the lack of sidewalks, and that too,
where travel is most frequent.
The recent sad automobile accident
in Cliffside, resulting in a child's in
slant death, precipated the discussion
in the Council, and the public Service
Corporation is also to ask to put a
green light at the intersection of Gorge
and Palisade avenues.

The Amusement Park in Winter.

The naked trees, ashiver in the wind
Stretched their gaunt limbs up to a
sodden sky
The neat gray paths are smeared with
skins of ice;
A sign ways fiauntingly, as to deny
The sleeping death of winter All the
ground
Is Strewn with refuse from gayer
day.
Like some deserted ballroom where is
Trities a careless hand has flung
away.
Once, long ago, the throbbing voice
of night
Mingled with laughter from joyous
throng;
The rhythmic shuttle of a thousand
feet
The blare of brass, the sounds of
mirth and song
Where now is silence. Sullenly it
waits
In frozen stupor for the kiss of
Spring.
TO stir its turgid pulse to life again,
Bestow the magic of awakening.
