TIGHT-ROPE THRILL
GIRL HIGH ABOVE CITY Broadway. New York, was startled the other afternoon by the spectacle of a girl walking across it on I,oooft of wire stretched at a height of 300 ft. Immediately she had negotiated her perilous feat, she was' arrested and hurried to a police station where she was charged with endangering the lives of people in the street. Giving the name of Miss Tinv Kline, aged twenty-six, she said she had taken this spectacular means of calling attention to the unemployment problem and her own desperate need of work. She had stretched a wire from the roof of the Hotel Edison to the Palace Theatre at the intersection of Fortyseventh street and Broadway, near Times square, which is usually the most crowded part of New York. Traffic was halted and matinee crowds gasped with horror as they saw the sain figure of the girl in cream-col-oured tights apparently walking on air.
