Y. HIPPODROME GIVEN WAY FOR ERECTION OF OFFICE BUILDING Structure Once Regarded as Finest in Nation Soon to Be Razed BY GILBERT SWAN, NEA Service Writer. NEW YORK—On its 25th birth day, the famous Hippodrome theater totters towards its grave. Bom in April, 1905, a veritable colossus of entertainment, its death knell is now being sounded by the wreckers and the play-place of mil lions must make way for a typi cal New' York office building. Yet the day was not so long ago when anyone who suggested that the Hippodrome might ever decline to Its plebian present would have been hustled away for cranial ex amination. All the world knew It; all Amer ica came to see it; it was one of the attractions of Manhattan, a household word, a crowning amuse ment achievement, a synonym for everything that was bigger and better. But that was in the wake of Thompson and Dundy’s fabu lous spectacles, suon as a “Circus from Mars” or “The Story of the Wilson Raiders” or, still later, “Neptune’s Daughter” and “Amer ica.” Singing and Dancing Girls Today the cavernous stage, which held the theatrically historic tank and saw a ballet of 100 <|ancing 1 girls, a chorus of 200 singing and dancing girls and a vast array of diving beauties, has now Shrunk to the dimensions of a motion picture screen whereon 500 extra players are no novelty. But George Field, who started shifting scenery shortly after its birth and became stage manage!, can remember when there wer# 1,274 attaches. Recently there have been a dozen ushers. George Ru dolph, who began 10 years ago as a tights stretcher for the ballet and became the chief electrician, can recall when 40,000 electric lights blazed upon the crowds. Now all Is in the half darkness of the ' cinema theater. No more spectac ular project ever staggered the visi tor to Gotham than this $1,500,000 palace with seating room for 5,200 persons. Something like 50,000,000 or more have entered and exited in its hey-day. Yet there has been no secret around Broadway that for the last 10 years It has been gradually slipping. The decline actually be gan in 1918, which also was the year of its greatest box-office tri umph. It had passed from its orig inal management to Thompson and Shubert; the latter had walked out in a huff and Charles Dilling ham had taken it over offering “Hip, Hip Hooray” and other pageants which nationalized his name. Peak of Popularity The while, one name after an other and one feat after another achieved the peak of popularity— Annette Kellerman, the “diving Venus;” John Philip Sousa and his band; Charlotte, and her skat ers; Fay Templeton and De Wolfe Hopper; those most famous of clpwns, Toto, Silvers and Marcel line, the latter two fated to be tragic Jesters who died by their own hands; Fokine’s ballet; Helen Cain, the diver, who finally was j blinded when her eyes hit against j the water once too often; Sidney Ford Now Making Profit, From Hew York World. The Ford Motor company, accord ng to n statement just filed In Mas achusetts, showed a profit of $81, 797,861 for 1929, as compared with i loss of $72,221,498 for 1928. In ither words, Mr. Ford, although ap proaching a time of life when men like to take their ease, and although having sufficient means, surely, to j live on the rest of his days, decided vear before last to take a chance Persuaded that Model T, which he had been making for a number of ; ears, was out of date, he scrapped j it and set about the vast work of j ^modeling his factory to make ot.h- I YEARS have imparted a touch of romance to the very name of Net York's Hippodrome, pictured above. This theater is scheduled to b< torn down soon as the location has been selected for a large office struc' ture. Ludz, the loop the looper who one day didn't jump In time; Dippy Diers, the daredevil, who cleaned up on the grand national races and retired—and a host ol others. Trained elephants and other animals performed on its stage to the thunderous applause of packed audiences. “Royal” Boxes Then, the “mysterious p:ol,” which had them all guessing. Doz ens of diving girls would leap into the water never to come up again. Everyone tried to solve the mys tery of how it w’&s done. Time disclosed it as a trick arrange ment, by which a diving bell, Just off stage, offered escape through a trap door. It required merely that the swimmer go under water for a couple of seconds and ascend back stage by a ladder. But because of the prospect that some diver might meet with a mishap, a clerk was stationed at the stairs to check each performer upon her exit. Then there were the “royal boxes,” which had held the Prince of Wales, the royal family of Bel gium, Cardinal Mercier and even John D. Rockefeller and Billy Sun day. The beginning of the end was sounded by the Sunday blue law. Some of the largest crowds had been attracted on the Sabbath, and the management fought the clos ing ordinance bitterly. Pavlowa and Toto allowed themselves to be arrested for a test case, and sev eral arrests were made on subse quent Sundays. Then came a series er models, which might sell, but which on the other hand might not. The stary of that remodeling Is fa miliar to all of us; the months dur ing which production was at a standstill and workmen were busy building new machinery, the steps by which the new model was evolved, the excitement when it fi nally apppeared. The cost, as re flected in this statement, was $72, 221,498, but In reality was much more than that as this takes no ac count of the profits Mr. Ford might have expected had he continued merely to do business as before. Yet in one year Mr. Ford has recouped this prodigious ante, and nearly of jinxs. Ethel Lorraine, a dancer met with an accident and collected $25,000; Slivers committed suicide; a trapeze act miscued and fell U death and the theatrical union! came in. There was a fierce laboi light and Dlllinghorn resigned hi! management; the Actors’ Equity won and all was settled for a time House Never Came Back But it was too late. The Hippo drome never came back. In 1921 a big spectacle was staged, bul met with uncertain success; two years later Keith took the theatei over for vaudeville and two years after that it passed into the hand! of the late E. F. Albee. Pictures, vaudeville, and then sound films— all have been tried—the Hippo drome had had its day. So its 25th birthday finds it an old tottering man. shorn of it! youthful splendor and gaiety, ready to surrender to the wreckers. - - - - Q. Are third rails on train tracks charged heavily enough to causa death if a person touches the rail? F. W. A. The third rails on train ana subway tracks are so highly charged that should a person step on them death would be instantaneous. How ever, every precaution against such accidents Is taken bv railway companies. The law states that at no time shall this rail be exposed, — N-+« As a resit> of the “parrot fever’ scare in Denmark has ruled that ships from South American ports shall be subjected to the same quar antine measure normally in force for the control of cholera and plague. $10,000,000 besides. In another year he will have recouped much more. It all goes to show that however defective Mr. Ford’s understanding of public affairs he has one of the best understandings of business that the world has ever aeen. Q. What language did the an cient Ethiopians speak? J. L. T. A. They spoke a language known as Ethiopic, also called lesana Ge’ez, the tongue of Ge’ez. It ts closely allied with the languages of south ern Arabia and represents the southern division of the Sem lan guages. Old and young can take this family laxative; free trial bottle!
