CIGARETTE BLAZE
WRECKS BROOKLYN
OLYMPIC THEATRE
Famous Old House, Once
Hyde & Behman'S, Quilted
by Midnight Fire.

A cigarette. carelessly dropped on
the first balcony floor. started a fire
that did $4,000 damage to the Olym-
pic Theatre, formerly Hyde & Beh-
mans, on Adams Street near Myrtle
Avenue. Brooklyn, to-day.
When Louis Eaton, the Waterman,
discovered the blaze it had been
smouldering since the theatre closed
at II o'clock. A second alarm was
sent in after Smoky Joe" Martin
came and saw the danger.
The asbestos curtain prevented the
flames reaching the stage. The fire
men had a hard fight because of the
smoke that came from the upholstery
OF the chairs. The building IS almost
u total loss from fire and water.
The Olympic Theatre is conducted
as vaudeville and moving picture
house by Harry Traub. For several
years the Hyde & Behman Company
operated it as vaudeville and bur
lesque theatre. IL was erected on the
site Of the original Hyde e. Behman
Theat ire, which was destroyed by fire
in 1890. This theatre was used as
morgIe when the Brooklyn Theatre,
nearby, was burned in 1876 with large
loss of life.

OWN TALENT AT BEST.
Contest Winners and Riddle
Show Members to Have
) an Honor Day.

Twenty thousand Riddles OF the
Kiddie klub spent a day OF happy
childhood, laughing and shouting,
yelling and screaming with delight,
kicking their heels in glee all day
yesterday at Starlight Park, the
Bronx.
1t was the Riddle Klub Day, and
Cousin Eleanor and her thousands Of
little cousins saw everything that
was to be seen in the park, includ-
ing the best show the Kiddie Kiub
has given in many, many moons.
The Riddles were at the gates long
before the time for opening them. BY
the time the smiling custodian of the
turnstile arrived on the scene there
were not less than 1000 Riddles
etorming the works. And into the
park they piled. Of course too early
for any of the concessions to be
started. but there was that big pool
IN one corner OF the big playground,
end into it the youngsters plunged.
They streamed along the b,ard-
walk shouting and yelling like 4 great
tribe OF happy little Indians and when
they got into the water they didn't
want to get out. Small blame 10 them.
The day was hot and the water was
cold. 1t was just as refreshing as a
Nath in font 81 city firehouse
when the firemen play the hose and
the klddies get a souse that even MI.
Volstead can't interfere with. and it
was whole lot moro like real SWIM
min.
There were shows and rides all day
long. The children skidded down
great planes on the giant coaster and
their screams were heard clear up on
the East 1I7th Street subway sta
lion platform. They disturbed the
spirits in Spiritland, which is
sort Of nut factory. almost as
good as the spirits of the long ago,
and where the very cha rming bobbed.
headed Billie Rombe was IN. one
bright star that captured the kid
dies.

Then the kiddies captured pretty
little Billie. The Riddles couldn't go
into certain places unless they were
chaperoned, and Billie, who isn't
much bigger than one Of the kiddias
herself, played mother to sc1re Of
them at time and she, too, de-
clared that she had the time Of her
life. Then she had to go back TO
Spiritland and play Lots wife ard e
turned into a pillar OF salt. But 10
the kiddies she was just as sweet as
II she had he.n turned into sugar.
Every show in the park was free
30 the Riddles Of the Kiddie klub, and
they stood in line with the patience
of Job, in no more hurry than a mes
eengcr boy, awaiting their turn for a
ride or a show. They fired away from
"A Soft SPOT to the Scrambler and
Heller Shelter. They went down in a
; Coal Mine, spun the Top and took n
,Froic on the Honeymoon Express.
They had Bushels of Fun and slid
on the Toboggan into the Dragons
Gorge.
They waddled about on the Witch
ing Waves and went over the Top on
the Battleship Recruit. They had the
fun or their lives in the Monkey Mu-
sic Hall and adored China's Fairy

Leopards and Nine. Berzac's Com

very wonderful. Cute and pretty lit

rehearsal, was even better than on
the day before. Such abandon and
such natural acting have rarely been
seen off the regular stage. And OH,
how pretty and graceful she was.
