TIGHT ROPE THRILL
GIRL HIGH ABOVE CITY
Broadway, Now York, was startled the other afternoon by the spectacle of a girl walking across it on 1000 ft of wire stretched at a height of 300 feet. 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 Tiny Kline, aged twenty-six, she said she had taken this spectacular means ol: 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 t]ic Palace Theatre at the intersection of Forty-seventh street and Broadway, near Times Square, which is usually the most crowded part of New York. Traffic was halted ancl matinee crowds gasped with horror as they saw the small figure of a girl in cream-color-ed tights apparently walking on air.
