Mr.. Fisk. the gifted young operator" whose |
artistic propenslties in stocks have lately cul-
minated in the manifestation Of very large |
Interest in theatrical "stock" companies, does
not own quite all the theatrical property In the
city, although matter DO seem tending that
way. Already he controls the grand opera
house, formerly Pixies, and likewise John
Brougham's new theatre, formerly the Fifth
Avenue What curious and pleasant double
life, to be sure, continually alternating between
art and auctions, spending the mornings among
the bulls and bears, and the evenings among
brautTdS and Jd1topeS! How encores aud Fries
must rattle together in his brain when he seeks
repose How "ragistered' bonds and the
"registet" of p1'j;a0 dOaao's voice mustseem to
blend into q sort of vocal money market just as
sleep shuts the curtain for few brief recupera-
tive hours One can easily imagine his thoughts
following this fashion:-Ld PerichoN bonds
opened firm, but with COED demand for dead
head tickets. Small coupon Irmas are scarce
and command from Jos higher than the large
Aujacs. The gold market nuctuated in sympa-
thy with the twelve encores nightly won by la
Perichole and PjqUiHo, and foreign exchange is
frmer, as is shown oy the expedition with which
Grau is beating me IN brlnggE ont Fteur de The.
Besides these triple accomplishments OF
running Erie, opera, and burlesque, Mr.. Fisk
displays neat turu for attack and defense
through the columns OF the newspapers. Per
haps he has some cause for pungency in the
recent action of a Sunday school superinten-
dent DR.. Perry (uot the famous hair restorer)
who rented from him the large hall attached to
the opera house. Mr.. Flsk claims that
he allowed the S. S. S. to have this
room almost as a gift, and that upon
his (Mr. Flsk's) assuming to make some altera-
tions in the hall, he had right to, the 5. s. S.
took unfair and unusual methods to prevent
him, scorned all compromise, and acted with an
excess of irgratitude and Venaliy disgusting in
an individual OF no religious prstensions and
trebly contemplate in AN S. S. s. The matter
has been taken into court; so what between
the courts the Wall street brokers, Sunday
school superintendentS, opera bOuteS, burlesque,
and the increasing cares of Erie, the young man
of the name of Fisk has no indolent time of it.
The immense number of balls that have been
given this winter have lent an impetus to the
dancing schools. Among the most fashionable
OF these is NJ. de Garmo's, at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Fourteenth street. and bearing very
much the same relation to the other dancing
schools of New York that Mr.. Carpenters Of
Philadelphia, does, or did, to terpslchorean
academies the1e. De Garmo, who is the perfec-
tion OF grace and ease, prides himself on his
exclusiveness. No visitors or on-lookers are
permitted at his lessons, save by special
invitation. His so!rces are the envy and the
despair OF every other resident professor
of the art. His classes for gentlemen
in particular are thronged, and, together with
his satatory instructions, as conveyed through
personal ILLUSTRATION, an Informal lecture is
frequently delivered descriptive of the various
styles of dancing a. home and abroad. His
extremely quiet and Irresistible method OF
ignoring the existence Of any other dancing
school than De Garmo's, and the gentle con-
temptuousness with which he refers to the east
side of the town. and the country dancing
masters who come ouCe a year to New York
(that il, to De Garmos) to "learn whaf dancing
really is are beyond all praise. lie is decidedly
New Yorkism, which New Workers would no..
have liked TO miss during the present season.
