CURFEW DID NOT RING.
Hippodrome Bell Fell Just As It Was
About to Be Rung.
"Curfew will not ring tonight: for the boys and girls at the Hippodrome, for the simplest of reasons. A very prosaic thing happened Tuesday night. The bell simply fell crashing to the floor as Officer Tom Davis was about to sound the first warning notes that send the "kiddies" scampering to their homes. Incidentally Manager Yancy of the skating rink had a narrow and sure enough escape -- not of the press-agent sort at all. As the net result of the whole affair, the boys and girls got to stay a few minutes longer than usual, but for the next few nights Officer Davis will blow a whistle at the appointed time. The bell will be doing business at the old stand by Sunday.
