PLAN FOR OPERA COMIQUE.
Gotham May Have a New Theater
| Erected by the Astors.

New York, Feb. 8.-Plans are now I'M
der way to give New York an opera
comique.
Clarence Andrews has succeeded in
interesting the Astors in the undertake
ing and impressing them favorably with
the feasibility of such an enterprise
The plan is to build a new opera house
"a real house for opera cOmique-on
Thirty-fourth street as near as possible
to the Hotel Astoria.
The management will aim to con-
duct the new theater according to the
example set by the Opera COmique in
Paris.
The intention is to have lyric comedy
under the best possible conditions with
the best possible surroundings. If, as is
confidently expected, it is decided to
build, work will be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible and everything will
be ready to open next season.
Paul SteindOrf, who has directed a
number of the entertainments given at
the Astoria this season, will probably
be chosen for the position of musical di-
rector.
The plan is to have the patrons of
the house limited to regular subscribers.
In this regard it will be conducted much
as the Metropolitan opera.
