' NEW YORK - Thlaga one
New Yorker thinks about
The other day at a ceremony
Juat Muffed full of departmental
ccmmlatkmera, borough
Metals and the like. New York
officially opened its new light-
ing system on Third ovenue.
after which the politicians and
newsmen retired to a nearby
saloon where Weatlnghouse
executive* explained proudly
that the raffish old boulevard
now was the longest floureacent
lighted street In the world.
There are nven and one-half
miles of floureacent lamps along
Third now. Look* real Jassy.
> It oil made one suddenly
aware again of the existence of
Third svenue, which almost
seemed to slump out of sight
after the elevated tracks were
tom down—and do you know
what? The Knell of beer Is gone.
In the days of the El. when
sunlight rarely speckled through
the Iron-work to the sidewalks,
Third avenue was a Seedy and
rundown eld street . . . always
smelling of beer. This was not
only downtown In the Bowery
area, but all up and down the
lrne, as far north as York villa.
Part of it was because there
were so many bars and grills
sprinkled along Third, but t*
truth is that many of these i
main , , , though the smell
gone. H
The slowly brightening look
of the old highway, with its
hastily-erected new office build-
ings and general air of renova-
tion, is bearable—but there is
something warm and cosy about
a street smelling of beer at
hours, and now that this
gone, Third avenue is Just an-
other road. All that Is left Is
East 46th street, along Steak
Row, when the chophouses open
their doors in the morning to
let out the foul air. And the dis-
appointing truth Is that 46th
amells more of whisky. Expen-
livt whiskv.
I was startled, though you
may not be, to learn from a new
municipal booklet. The CUy
1 hat Belongs to the World, that
New York was discovered four
centuries ago by a couple of
brothers from Florence, Italy,!
named Verrsxano. Also that the
first world's fair was held here,
on the preaent site of the Pub-
lic Library, and Coney Island
was the scene when the roller
coaster made its debut in 1864.
Perhaps more Important, I be-
lieve the lethal potion named
the French .78 was Invented
here
I know Vm an old dally]
double player, but I bridled ■
bit recently when the mail
brought me advertising litera-
ture for wheat germ oil that
•gives a horse radiance and
spirit you can’t describe.”
Isn’t It sbout time we called
n halt on opera *t*rs doing
night club turns? Marguerite
Pi axis, who doesn’t need the
money (she's married to a re*
aonably wealthy businessman
«.d lives In a *100,000 home in
Memphis). Is doing an act these
days that's pretty arch. A* al-
ways she is handsome to look
at, but I doubt that me«o-
so'pranos were Intended to sing
Dixieland music and that goes
for you, too, Helen TraubeL
There Just have to be Acad-
emy Award nominations lurking
in the distance for Hepburn and
Lanc&sttr after their spendid
work in The Rainmaker. About
Baby Doll I can’t make up my
mind, although Carroll Baker’s
performance Is recommended to
me and all. _
If you're Interested in how
New York manages to keep go-
ing, despite its financial affairs
being as entangled as ever, he
informed that this year the
traffic courts here will have
collected about *12 million. This
Is *3 million more than In 1958
and Includes at least *30 of
mine . . . Miss Wendy Hiller Is
due from England after New
Year’s to star in O'Neill's Moon
for the Misbegotten. My cup
runneth ovsr.
You can cling to the old
legend that Manhattan's cab
drivers are the safest, surest
autoists In the world—but in the
15 months ending In November,
nearly 22 per cent of the acci-
dents here (the 74,049 accidents)
Involved cabbies—and there are
less than 12,000 cabs In all five
boroughs ... I gu*8* there’s a
market for the musical 111
