The Billboard 1901-09-14: Vol 13 Iss 37 (1901-09-14)

10 THE BILLBOARD NOTES. For some unexplained reason, Paola Edwards, who was booked for the Columbia bill this week, failed to show up at the opening performance. The Zoo is now the only one of Cincin natis outdoor amusement places that remains open. Delcher & Hennessy will change the name | the new opera house, he said, but he ad-| Pond, Demaria and mitted that Mr. Hunt's lease expires at the | end of this season, and that he could, if he of “Put Mé Off at Buffalo’ in the event | of President McKinley's death. | President Heuck, of the Heuck-Fennessy | Cireait, has wired Manager Fennessy from | Michigan, where he is sojourning, not to bold maangers of opera houses who have hooked | their attractions for damages should they | that decide to close their houses in the event | of President McKinley's death. Managers Ike and ‘Jack’? Martin were | presented with a beautiful silver loving-cup by the employes of’ Chester Park when that popular resort closed. A NEW THEATER To Be Built on Race Street to House the Pike Stock Company Next Season. For nearly a week there has been a story in circulation to the effect that Cincinnati is to have a new theater, but so many of these “hot air’ stories have been told and printed that little attention has been given the latest one. However, from what “The Billboard” has heen able to learn from a perfectly reliable anthority, there is some foundation for the story, and from present appearances it is not only possible, but probable that the new playhouse will be built. The gentleman who is said to be financeering the new project is-Col. Robert J. Morgan, who is at the head of the United States Playing Card Company, the largest concern of its kind in the world. Col. Morgan is now at Grande Pointe, Mich., with his family, where he has a palatial summer home, but his return to Cincinnati is expected every day. However, the information that Col. Morgan intends to build a new theater in Cincinnati from a gentleman who is his personal and confidential friend, and who says that he aecompanied Col. Morgan to Detroit, where the necessary financial arrangements were made and where an architect was selected to draw plans for the new house, The location selected is said to be on the several lots immediately west of the site of the Grand Opera House. The property involved in the deal is said to be occupied now by the two-story frame houses on Race street, running from Longworth street north to the alley and east to a point beyond the east line of the Cuvier Club Building. The entranee, of course, will be on Race street, which would place the stage of the new theater and that of the Grand Opera House, back to back. According*to the information obtained by “The Billboard,” Col. Morgan has not only secured an option on the property of the theater, but, most important of all. he has completed a deal for the house to have a tenant the moment it is ready for eccupancy, Which will not be before the opening of the season of 1902-1902 Col. Morgan, it is said, has closed a deal with Manager Hunt of the Pike Stock Company, whereby that popular and capable company of players will desert the theater whose name it carries now, and where it made its reputation. According to the story as told to “The Billboard,”’ Manager Hurt is now in full control of the Pike Company, Sussman and Londis, of Chicago, having disposed of their interests to him. The lease on the Pike as secured by Sussman, Landis & Hunt expires at the end of the present season, and Manager Hunt being anxious to bouse his company in a vround-floor theater, made the deal with Col. Morgan, so it is said, to transfer the Pike Company to the new theater as soon as it is rendy for occupancy. Col. Morgan is a wealthy man, who has practically retired from business, and he is certainly in position financially to undertake and complete such a project without inconvenience to his other interests. The Cuvier Club property has been on the market for some time because the organization has outgrown its present quarters, and a more commodious club-house is necessary. The fact that the Pike Company is playing in Detroit now, where Col. Morgan is said to have gone from his summer home to select an architect, is significant at least. Col. Morgan and Manager Hunt being absent from Cincinnati, their versions of the story could not be obtained in time for this issue of “The Billboard.”” However, Powell Crosley, the owner of the Pike Opera House, was seen just before he left the city for [tuffalo. Mr. Crosley had heard nothing of cotnes Messrs. | project.’ choose, refuse to Pike. renew his lease on the | Mr. Crosley was inclined to believe that | if Manager Hunt contemplated leaving the | Vike Opera House, he (Mr. Crosley) would be notified of the fact. However that may be, the gentleman who enjoys Col. Morgan’s confidence, and who is reliable in every way, says that he obtained his information from Col. Morgan himself, and he was present when arrangements were made by Col. Morgan in Detroit for the plans and finances necessary to the Qe proprietor and manager; Horace Newman, business manager; O. B.
