STAGE NEWS AND GOSSIP.
Some Attractions Booked by Ros-
enfelds for the Fifth Avenue.
Addresses Discharged to Give EN-
ploYment to Others.

In spite of the anger, despair. grief,
modification, observation-disclosures and
mental anguish of young Mr.. Miner,
NJ the Fifth Avenue Theatre, caused by
the exclusive information in Wednes-
DAYS Evening World" setting forth the
fact that the Rosenfelds place their at
fractions there shortly; in spite. also, OF
his vigorous denials. these principal facts
remain: Messrs. Carl and Theodor
Rosenfeld'-this Is an extract from an
official statement-"have taken all the
time from March II, 1894. to June s, 1885,
at Mr.. Miners Fifth Avenue Theatre.
The contract they have made with Mr.
Miner grants TO them the sole and exclu-
siye control of all productions which are
TO be made in that house. During this
agreement with MIR. H. C. Miner, Messrs
Rosenfeld have the sole and exclusive
right to furnish all attractions for the
Fifth Avenue Theatre 1t Is true that
they have not LEASED" the house. Few
New York managers have the right to
sublet their theatres, and the owners OF
the Gilsey estate are peculiar. But the
contract with Mr.. Miner is very. neat
way of getting possession of the house
as nearly as possible without the lease
probably in the summep that the
Rosenfelds will not use. Miss Coghlan
will come in for six. The Rosenfelds
enter upon this contract March II. The

at this house. Young Mr.. Miner is a
nice. clever, energetic young man, but II
is silly for him to wax angry over moth

cality.
