By Will B. Johnstone. Copyright’, 1921, by the Press: Publishing Co, (The New York Evening Worla) ADISON SQUARE up to 42d Street was the centre of Broadway's gay M life twenty-odd years ago, Around 29th Street were what had for- merly been below 14th Street in the eighties and what are found to- day in Longacre Square—theatres, hotels and restaurants. Here was the second great “white Jyh" district of the city, known as She Henares Stantord White, site of bod old 7 the “Tenderloin,” so called by In- OA iat Regiment Armory. atway in spector Alex Williams, who said OD 1901, Macy's in 1902, Gimbel’e 1910, being assigned to the “juicy” 19th Hotels Marlborough (36th and 87th), Hrecinet, “I've had chuck steak long enough, now Till get tenderloin.” When Parkhurst forced the Lexow investigation in the middie nineties Mex said he made his money out of Japanese real estate. Twenty-third Street was then the great shopping centre of tho city having moved up from 14th Street, now located further uptown, start- ing at 34th Street. Hotels and \heatres were thick. Albemarle, at @ith Street; Hotel Victoria, southeast corner 27th Street, where Cleveland ved after his first term; Coleman House (west side, between 27th and Zath); Gilsey House, building stand- hg at northeast corner 29th Street; Normandie (38th), Vendome (41st), Albany (between 40th and dist) are well known here, ‘The Knickerbocker Hotel is now an office building, since Prohibition drove “Old King Cole” from its famous barroom at 42d Street.

Sometimes years afterward a mere soft air or snatch of music will re- call a scene of happiness, a picture which is written in the heart never to be forgotten. That is the way the lovers who collect at the Stadium at 157th Street and listen to the choicest music feel. Dainty, soft music by Mendelssohn, Chaminade and McDowell float through the summer breezes and time passes as though one were in fairyland. At times she leans her head upon his shoulder and dreams of his strength and ability to make their future so happy and substantial. ‘Then egain as the music fMspires her ehe feels that she must be motherly and big toward him.
