OLD THALIA THEATRE, BOWERY LANDMARK, DESTROYED BY FIRE
Cradle of American Theatrical Art Passes; Chinese, Playing There, Mourn
The Old Bowery Theatre, where once BOOTH, FORREST and GILBERT played, was
destroyed by fire today. The spectacular blaze it made could been seen over a
wide area in Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey.
With the passing of this decrepit structure, New York loses one of its most
historic landmarks, for the theatre had been devoted to the drama for more
than 100 years. It often was termed the cradle of all American actors and
actresses of the early nineteenth century.
Once called the Thalia Theatre, the old Bowery institution was known in
recent times as the Chinese Theatre. And when the four alarm fire was sounded
today, the nearby natives of Chinatown, attired hurriedly in a colorful
assortment of costumes, looked on sadly as the walls of their theatre fell.
