Description:
The New York Clipper was one of the first theatrical trade newspapers in the United States. Founded in 1853, the Clipper offered weekly coverage of legitimate theatre, vaudeville, the circus, and other forms of entertainment (which, by the early-20th century, included motion pictures). In 1923, the Clipper was acquired and absorbed by one of its New York competitors: Variety. -- Eric Hoyt, 2013

Wliile George Parker, 55 years old, of 401 East 156th street, a watchman in Miner's Bronx Theatre, 149tii street and Melrose avenue, the Bronx, was making his fir^t round of the house after midnight on Monday morning he was attacked by three men wno had cwlentty been concealed in a storage closet off the second balcony. The week-end receipts of several thousand dol- lars were stored in a safe in the oflice and the robbers were on their way down to break the safe open when they met Parker coming up. They blackjacked, then bound and ^ggcd htm. William Creete, a cleaner, at work on die balcony floor, heard the struggle and ran upstairs. One of tfie robbers fired a shot at him and he ran to the street, sum- moning special policeman William Rose and Michael Sullivan of 558 Melrose av- enue. As the special ofiBcer and the others started up to the balcony the robbers fired several snots then fled througti an exit to 150th street, leaving behind them a set of burglar tools which were found in a closet.
