Is going to settle down upon the Great
White .Way becomes more pronounced.
Still there are plenty of shows left for
the army of theatre-goers, and very soon
the numerous roof garden theatres will
open for business. In spite of the many
outside attractions such as Coney Island,
tha roof garden theatres are very pop
ular on hot summer nights.
Located as many of them are on the
roofs of skyscrapers they are aura of
a cool and refreshing breeze and are
hlirli above the noisy and duett streets.
The number of hotels that are making
the roof garden a feature Is certain to
triake the supply of cool evening spots

" One by one New York's famous trees

every inch of ground is valuable or are

northern extremity of the city 1h Win

the first lord of Pelham Manor,- la said
to have signed his treaty with the In

against vandalism, for the boys of the
neighborhood have built so' many roar

it down before it falls of its own ac

remain, however, among them a line

At the Marquam.
Hardeen, the world famous wizard
of locks, the man who can unfasten
and free himself from any .sort of hand
cuffs or atraightjacktts ever Invented,
will be the star attraction at the Mar
quam Grand theatre for the week of
Monday, May 25. A strong bill of other
high-class acta will make the Pantagea
attactlons for- the coming week the best
in the city.
Hardeen haa an act that Is recog
nised by critics as one of the most mys
tifying and wonderful ever presented
before the footlights. He permits him
self to be locked Into any sort of Hand
cuffs that were ever invented, then in
less time than it requlrea to tell it he
frees himself from the shacklea, pre
senting them to the view of the audi
ence unlocked, open and uninjured, re
gardless of . the fact that the keys are
kept beyond his possible reach. One of
his most remarkable feats la his escape
from the atrstghtjacket and muffs
used ao errectiveiy upon me mosi aes
perate and powerful insane persons. It
takes Hardeen but 7 minutes to per
form this seemingly impossible feat
He suarantees to escape from any box
or crate which mechanical Ingenuity can
contrive, without breaking or injuring
the crate. "How doea he do it" this
is the question that la asked by every
one who sees ma perzormance. Ana ii
Is a question that has mystified the po
lice and lock experts of the world.

The Incident Is only an 'Indication of
the rapid growth of Manhattan, and
the way that the residential portion of
the city has been pushing farther and
farther up town, till Whitehall atreet
Is so far down town that the majority
of Gothamltes know it not In the case
mentioned Lizzie lived 40 years ago at
wimenau street, wnere tne restaur
ant now standa. It was Wiere that the
old sailor bade his sweetheart farewell,
for a short time only, till he went to
the far east to make his fortune. Then
he was -to return and marry Lizzie.
Forty years have elapsed since then,
but the old tar expected to find Lizzie
waiting at 43 Whitehall. After an all
day search he was seen at dusk tramp
ing" through Whitehall and Pearl streets
seeking for some place that would re
call the' New York of 40 years ago.'
"The cat came back" .was forcibly and
sorrowfully brought to the mind of a
certain Gothamlte who bet 126hat he
would lose his friend's cat so it would
never return. The . bet was a sporting
pne,.for every . kind of an attempt had
been made to lose the grimalkin. Once
the cat was dropped from High bridge,
but it swam- down the Harlem river to
Port Morris and from there walked back
to Its master's house. After the bet
was made the other day the cat was

According to Mr. ' Armstrong this
week's attraction, at the Star theatre
will exceed In humor and melody any
of those which have gone before It
Manager Armstrong takes particular
pride In "Sweethearts and Wives" for
it Is more pretentious than some of tha
other shows and Is bolstered up with
more and better musical numbers, not
to say possession of a greater amount
of comedy.
Every member of the company will
have a part In "Sweethearts and Wives'
for even the chorus can live up to the
title good humoredly. This chorus,
while not so large as those carried by
some of the traveling companies, makes
up In energy and enthusiasm what It
lacks In numbers.

By way of special added attraction
there will be a "down east"" playlet
which will be a complete New England
pastoral play boiled down to vaudeville
limits, This will be interpreted by
Macks, Hart and La Marr. It bears
the title 'Cynthia's Visit' and will be
found a novel vaudeville offering.
"The Nightingale" is a mixture or
comedy and drama which - is presented
by Acton, Kloville St Co. . There Is no
other sketch just like thla in any re

the people who created the characters
of the Bowery boy and the Bowery girl

Paln'a production depicting the trag
edy of Vesuvius waa organized and

magnitude that almost appals; first and
foremost with everything bearing Pain's
trade-mark is of course the fireworks,
and it is sate to say that nothing more
elaborate in this line haa ever been pro
duced in this city. The circus features
are represented in a large- number of
sensational aerial and acrobatic per
formances and various hippodrome acts.
The scenic equipment of the Pain
open-air exhibition shows enoush Mint
ed mountains, palaces, - buildings and
streets to extravagantly stock a score

all points proves the - wisdom of the
management's enterprise, as In most

the greatest attraction ever secured for
a fete or -celebration - organized "along
the lines of the Rose Festival. The ex

was a small fortune and vet the manage
