The American Theater.

The lease of the American Theater last evening passed into the hands of Messrs. Eldridge and Van Buren, the new lessees, which ends all legal difficulties and places them in undisputed control of the house. Since MT. Palmer's financial troubles last spring the house has been in litigation, until two weeks ago the attachments were released at sheriff's sale and the fixtures was bought in by the present lessees. Benjamin R. En- glish, who is the lessor on behalf of St. Mary s R. 0. church, the owners of the building, then brought suit to regain possession of the vitiated lease, and last evening the lease was returned to him and by him transferred to Messrs. Eldridge and Van Buren. The thea ter will be reopened next Monday evening, which will be welcome news to the many patrons who have missed it's attractions dur ing the present season. Messrs Eldridge and Van Buren open with the prestige of three most successful seasons, and as they have the good will and confidence of the amusement public of New Haven success is assured to their management.
