Wisconsin 7-79797-3800. By SIDNEY SKOLSKY. Character of Broadway INHERE are numerous men and women who parade up and down Broadway day in and day out and are as much a part of the street the stars whose names are in electric lights. They are more a part of Broadway than Maurice Chevelier, whose name blazes aeros3 the. face of the Criterion Theatre, but who doesn't know a thinir about what's poinp; on around the corner.

Many of these characters didn't drift into Broadway for fame and fortune. Theirs was an easier task and all the more difficult for them to perform. They merely wanted to fret along. Like stars of the stage, they are here today and gone tomorrow. Who can tell? They may be back the day after tomorrow.

You've probably seen these characters of Broadway on your way to the theatre. There is Rosie. who peddles chewing gum, apples and candy during intermissions. Her favorite territory is 44th and 45th Sts. She generally can be found sitting on the steps of the Booth Theatre.

She is known as Rosie of Shubert Alley. Rosie may disappear for a week, but she always returns to do business at the same old stand. There was the man who used to stand between the Rialto Theatre and C'hiids restaurant, selling the Birth Control Review. He hasn't been around for over a year, and I guess many think that the magazine is no longer published. I wonder what happened to that fellow? Maybe he made enough Woney and went home to the wife and kiddies? Another character who has disappeared is the strange looking chap who used to emerge from the Gaiety Theatre building every vening at exactly 6 o'clock.

You couldn't help noticing him. He wore a green velour hat with a red feather protruding. He wore riding breeches and leggings and would walk very dapperlike down Broadway. I never knew what his racket was. Another character, the general public doesn't see him, but he wakes a living, is Joe, the bootblack in the Sardi Building.

He goes from floor to floor shining the shoes of the celebrities. Joe is getting on in the world. He now has a part-time job he likes very much. He is relief doorman at the Forty-fourth Street Theatre. Everybody on that block knows Joe.

They know him better than many who have their names in lights on that very street. And if you're looking for characters, don't overlook the stage doormen. One could write a book about them. Just to mention one, there was Gil, who used to tend door at the Earl Carroll Theatre. Gil was a toueh guy, pulled his own teeth with his own fingers, and looked after Mr.

Carroll's beauties like a father. He sent their soiled linen to the laundry, answered their phone calls, delivered messages, and often helped a girl get rid of a fellow she no longer Cared for. When talking pictures arrived at the Carroll Theatre, Gil went. I don't know where he is now. Perhaps he'll be back at the new theatre? Remember the red-cheeked fresh guy who's stop couples, push a rose into the hand of the girl and try to embarrass the boy friend to pay for it He's gone from the street and he isn't missed.

The flower trade is now in the hands of an old lady who looks like Mary Carr in ''Over the She is only around in the daytime and generally can be seen near Sardi's. She collects faded and dying flowers from the neighborhood florists for nothing and peddles them. If you try to give her a coin without taking a flower she becomes insulted. She demands that you get something for your money. Commodore Dutch is another product of Broadway.

He runs errands for the sporting crowd. The Commodore has a racket all his own. Every year he runs a ball and gets out a souvenir program. From the receipts of this ball and the program the Commodore makes enough money to get by until the next annual event. Commodore Dutch was a friend of Big Tim Sullivan.

He marched with Sullivan in the Hudson-Fulton celebration in 1907. They were both dressed as Commodores. That's how Dutch got his name. Just a few of the characters of Broadway. They belong! tRntrro steamer to New York same dav from points marked t.
