FAMOUS OLD N. 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,

$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!
The next time you or the children need a laxative,
try this famous doctor's prescription which aids
the bowels without doing any harm. Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, containing p-:re senna and laxative
htrb*. is effective in a gentle and helpful way. Its
3Ction is thorough, but it never weakens the bowels.
It stimulates muscular action and is thus^ actually
good for the system. So remember Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin when coated tongue, fetid breath,
headaches, nausea, jaded appetite or biliousness
tells the need of a thorough cleansing. Druggists
keep it in big bottles, or write Dr. Caldwell s Syrup
’>tpsin, McniiceUa, III., for a free trial bottle.
