Ciue a Thought to
Theatre Alley

L'A6s away from Times Square, The
atre Alley lies forsaken and neg
lected in the business district south of
City Hall. But in the old days, it was
the heart Of the theatrical center. The
Nassau Street Theatre, opened in 1850,
was the first playhouse erected in New
York. AT Beekman and Nassau Streets
stood theatre erected by David Doug
las in 1861. The John Street Theatre
was another of the famous playhouses
standing near Theatre Alley.
To-day the street, hemmed in by
large buildings, does not get much light
even at noon. The northern end is
quite dark, being covered by snoring
structure that has been erected to sup
port the walls of one Of the older
houses. Since the sewerage system is
inadequate, rain water that runs snco
the street remains in the many holes
and ruts for long periods.
Food is being delivered daily to the
several restaurants on Nassau Street
and Park Row that have their delivery
entrances on the Alley and the most
sanitary conditions are desired. But to
attain these in the little street as it
now stands seems almost impossible.
Street cleaners are right on the job.
But their efforts are of little avail. Re-
paving and better sewerage, particular
ly near Bcekman Street, are needed
to keep the street drained.
