PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
Since the announcement of A. VI. palmers
retirement hc Union Square Theatre pieces q
gossip have created much interest IN theatrical circles
as did the news Of his probable association with tho
Mallory, published I'm Yesterdays TRIBUNE. There Ia
now lltlc question TO the ultimate conclusion OF the
negotiations and by Monday next Mr. Palmer will bea
partner OF the Messrs Mallory. The discussion OF ts
subject yesterday was principally confined 20 persons
not directly interested In the matter. little knot
actors lounglng about Union square had lts
version OF the details OF the transaction each
grotesquely at variance With the trah than the other
y some was said that Mr. Palmer would not listen 10
such a proposition half interest He wanted tho
whole or none and the Maorys had at last given way
and were going dispose OF their entire ownership Of
the theatre for immense sum and hereafter devote
their attention TO The ChUchmdn solely. In another
quarter IL was declared that the relations between tho
Naorys and their entire stan had become 50 strained
that the wheels OF the machine had become hopelessy
clio eyed and they had been compelled to call In MI
Palmer to take all active supervision of their hands
Yet another had it that Mr.. Palmer was mercy
the representative of syndicate wealthy beyond tho
dream of avarce who bent securing the Madison
sqnare as step toward acquiring control of tho
entire theatrical field.
The real facts OF the far less sensational but
mueh more reasonable. Mr.. Palmer simply secures
next Monday interest in the theatrical business OF the
Mallory Brothers and expects ia time to the
chief control OF the artistic direction There Is some
truth in the story Of the rather unpleasant relations
between Mallory and OF the stai but that na
