the last SeacoaSt OF Bohemia"
During the brief period it has adopted such
an alluring slogan, this quaint. easy-going, his
toric old town has become paradox among
Ctties-a sort of civic Jekyl and Hyde.
BY night HobokenS cellars are alght: there
Is clinking of seidels and theatricalized air
/. OF German and Tyrolean beer halls; there is q
tinkling of zithers a lusty singing of stein songs
crcwdfng of humans into sawdust-sprnkled
cellars. There is an atmosphere of revel and
Of boisterous play; the sudden falsetto of
yodeler or the hearty slapping of leathered
thighs as Bavarian peasant dance begins.
Tourists crowd Hoboken's streets and overflow
its brauhauses. Being tourists they are taxed
accordingly. Cash registers clink with monoto-
nous regularity, and once leisurely innkeepers
grow rich.
But when daylight comes Hoboken returns
to its drowsy, picturesque role. There is a con-
tinental quality about it. There is q romantic
flavor for the Wanderers salty taste of the
sea: an intriguing semi-circle Of waterfront with
great liners lying at piers; glimpse of sailors
and stevedores strolling in and out of swinging
doors.
HUGE wooden fingers point the way to spots
where clam broth and free lunch go with
the large sedels The architecture Is that OF
yesteryear and there are many reminders thai
this was once the beer garden Of New York
And never has ceased being!
There is, too bit Of lavender and old lace:
the faint and restful perfume Of another day.
Roaming leisurely along the cobblestones and
train tracks which follow the piers where lie
the mammoth German. Scandinavian and
American liners one comes ever so unexpectedly
upon century of change
Its view of the river has long since been cut
OF by the great green fences which shut in
the busy wharves. A giant, sheltering elm
shades all that is left of an outdoor beer gar
den. There are old rotting tables and old, rot
ting benches There is a sign which reads,
"Sibyl's Cave" Inside there are pictures on the
wall showing women in hoop skirts taking Sun

And In the great window which once framed

which can be duplicated in few sections Of
America in this day and age.
or such ingredients is the dual life of Ho-
boken. 1t all came about like this:
Christopher Morley is and was an essayist and
novelist who seeks to find in these United
States unspoiled spots where one can escape
from the augmentation and Standardization of
so many cities; places which have held their
personalities through the years and lost little OF
their charm.
Morley is sort of literary vagabond who
has wandered the highways and byways Of
Europe. His trousers seem never to have been
pressed. He wears well crushed hats.
Cleon Throckmorton, well known in Washing
ton. is and was one Of the best of the scenery
designers for artistic plays and Harry Wagstaff
GTibble is and was a playwright and director
For IS years. Whereabouts Morley had
browsed about the docks and the hills that rose
from the docks and had stopped at the brau-
hauSeS for his seidel.
There was a small group Of others who found
that in this nearest Of suburbs could be found
. complete release from the hectic life in the
city: Also there was a refreshing association
with romance 1t Is a side of Hoboken which
the crowds that now pile in by tube tunnel or
ferry know nothing about. They never see it Of
lazy Sunday afternoon. They have never
taken the trouble to check up on its history.
II. then, Hoboken remained unspoiled during

the centuries, 1t is largely because it has, for
one reason or another, had little prestige among
New Workers. The spelling of places. as of men.
frequently begins when they begin to acquire
"class."
It's not unlikely that the spelling of Hoboken
may be well under way-and the blame must
fall upon the heads of Morley and Throck-
morton, traitors to the simplicity and charm
they have turned over to mob of Broadway
summers.
THE fact is that history questions whether
or not Hoboken was the original Manhat-
tan Isle-that is, whether or not it was once
named Manhattan.
Way back, something like 800 years ago.
some of the Dutch tourists who had wandered
away from the New York waterfront in small
boats amazed a group of Indians by putting
ashore. The visitors found the Indians calling
their home place Hobocan which was their
particular word for pipe" since they made
their pipes from rock found there.
In tradings that followed, the new arrivals
brought forth the first drink that was ever
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-11-10

But tOten daylight comes, the tOsUn
returns to its dotcsy, picturesque role"
It became a summers paradise. In a single
year the whole social aspects Of the city did \
complete hip-fop. And even those who have
proSpered most are far from certain whether or
not they want things as they are.
FROM New York whispers went around tina
Nation. Tourists from every city and ham,
let began to put Hoboken down upon their list
OF places to See"
Today Hoboken is in q class with the Statue
OF Liberty. Grants Tomb and the Woolworth
Building. No self-respecting New Yorker would
dare let visiting fireman return home With
out peep at the seacoast Of Bohemia. -.4
Meanwhile, too the pioneers have outgrown
their original theater which has long history
OF its own, and taken over the old Lyric. There
they have revived THE Black Crook" and there
as the second year approached they took Joan
Lowell out of "the cradle Of the deep" and let
her spit to windward in "The Star of Beneai~
seagoing play written by her husband Thomas
Buchanan
There is an undercurrent Of resentment on
the part of Hobokens old-timers toward the
city dwellerS The summers from over the
land and the Broadwayites go through the
streets singing and making merry at hours
Wnen the town Is in bed-bedtime hours estab-

ton with Morley-and presto, something boz
gan to happen to the old town.
1t didn't happen all at once. The first plays
were too much like the "art'' theater produce
TONS They didn't click. Then Morley, brows-
ing about in ancient manuscripts, came upon
Boucicault's grand old early melodrama, AFTER
Dark; or Neither Maid, Wife Nor widow
Slyly some of the invitations urged visitors 10
"seidel over to Hoboken." And not long there
after came the slogan, 'the last Seacoast Of

taken there. There has been plenty since.
And the old chief grew so merry he referred
to the new beverage as "mannahatanink, -
which means IAN island of intoxication." At
least that's the story, and you can believe It or
not.
New York later adopted the title as its own.
After ALL the drinks had come from there.
Now the New Workers, or great many Of them,
have good reason to return the title to its birth
place.
BY the time the Spanish American War came
along. Hoboken was q picnic ground for New
Workers. Parks hourished along the water
front And near the parks were many beer
gardens For a big German settlement had
sprung up there.
There was the River walk, the Elysian Fields
and the SYPHILIS Cave. There was the first New
York Yacht Club, which today is the worlds
largest. There was an international cricket
field. and a foot ball field upon which was
played the first Yale-Princeton game. There
was even dueling ground, upon which the
big town boys settled their affairs Of honor.
WHEN the war came Hoboken was particu-
larry hard hit because of its large Teutonic
population. Most of its clubs, being Germanic,
had to undergo a quick change of name. When
the war was over, the population being pretty
much what it was, found it hard to lay. it's
stems and lager aside-as have ether German

were not German and who lived elsewhere
didn't seem to mind-in fact quiet crowd has
always drifted over.
Meanwhile Hoboken also established world
reputation for German foods. Gourmets. who
hunt out dining places wherever they may be-
gathered in the colorful cellar places and the
wiser Manhattanites made weekly pigrimages.
1t was all very quiet, 1eisurely and easy going.
Then one day. slightly more than year ago.
Cleon Throckmorton decided to go forth in
search of old theaters in the immediate neigh
borhood of New York. The various little the
aters had been slipping slightly.
He had certain ideas concerning the estab-
lishment of a playhouse of the old school, And
his keen sleuthing brought him up at last in
front of the old Rialto of Hoboken, as fine an
example of the theater of yesterday as may be
found anywhere. There was quick consulta-

NORRIS AND SON ARE BRUISED IN
 AUTO ACCIDENT

]. I. Norris and his son Marlin, narrowly escaped serious injury last night when the small car that MT. Norris was. driving plunged over the steep bank be- tween Sixth and Seventh Streets on the Main Street hill.
 The accident occurred about II o'clock when MT. Norris who is a pharmacist in the Hellan Drug Store, was returning home from employment. As the car neared the summit of the hill mechanical trouble of some sort developed that made the car un- manageable and also left it without brakes. Before either Morris or his son could escape from the coupe it plunged over the steep bank. Both of the oc- cupants were thrown through the top and the car came to a stop after rolling over twice.
 MT. Norris suffered bad cuts on the legs and his son received bruises on the head, while pain ful. are not serious
 The car was badly smashed and was towed to the Juneau Motors Garage by the wreckine car this morning.
