Walter Winchell laments Broadway’s bustle from Central Park matinee idols to night clubs on 52nd street. He notes Modern Art windows on East 54th, Western Union messengers, groaning bridges, and the worn faces of workers. The piece weaves images of pigeons, soldiers on Easter furloughs, balloons in Central Park, elderly brownstones, cherry blossoms on Sixth Avenue, and a Dickensian Village storefront with luxury car arrivals.
