AT FOX'S.
 When Manager Dean announced While New York Sleeps" an eight reel Fox Special. which began it's run at Fox's theatre last night. as the most sensational and artistic melo- drama Of all time" he did not realize how close he had come to the ma rk. It certainly lives up to all that has been said about it. Night life in New York among the several strata of so- ciety in that cosnn opolitau city is pic tured with wonderful fidelity in the three acts or episodes which compose the picture.
 Some magnificent views of the bright spots along the Great White Way have been used in this picture. For instance, there is a dancing num- Der from Florenz Ziegfeld's ~popular Midnight INrolic girl-an music show, together with gorgeous cabaret scenes from the Cafe Palais Royal. Then the action plunges over to the East Side where VIC see a tragedy in the lives of a tenlpestuous shop girl, her puny, gentle hearted husband whom she despises, tho saintly, paralytic father of the man.. and the gangster leader of a band of thieves.
