Suburban Life, the Countryside Magazine of February 1916 books.google.com/books?id=VC8wAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA69&lp... mentions the introduction of skating exhibitions at the Hippodrome [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Hippodrome] in an article entitled "A Country Sport in City Clothes."

"The Hippodrome Theatre also called the New York Hippodrome, was a theater in New York City from 1905 to 1939, located on Sixth Avenue between West 43rd and West 44th Streets in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan. It was called the world's largest theatre by its builders and had a seating capacity of 5,300" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Hippodrome

swanq and Art Siegel: Thanks for both the info on this magnificent theater as well as that good catch about the skating exhibitions. We will expand the record.

This Hippodrome is later the Capitol theatre. The other curious thing about this photo, is that the street on the left doesn't exist any more. It is now an arcade with a bar in it.
