LEASE OF ACADEMY
Mr.. S. A. SchIoss Offers
the Best Proposition.
Details Not Yet Complete But the
Outlook Favors theatrical
Manager From Will
mingt0n.

Though there has been no final action
taken in the lease of the remodelied Raj
eigh Academy of Music the outlook IS that
this will go to Mr.. S. A. SchoSs. of Will
mlngton.
The Directors of the Auditorium, who
are now in control of the Academy OF
Music met yesterday at noon and again
took up the consideration of the leasing
of the Academy for the next five years
A third proposition was considered by
the committee in addition to the propo-
sition already submitted by Mr. Schloss
and the Raleigh syndicate. After full
consideration. the Directors agreed that
the proposition made by Mr.. Schloss, of
Wilmington was the best one offered,
and would be satisfactory if certain amend
ments are agreed to. This amended prop
osition was referred to special commit
tee for consultation with Mr.. Schloss, and
for final action 1t is stated by the di-
rectors that full details will be given out
as soon as contract is contaminated.
1t is understood that the rental price for
which the lease will be made is upwards
of 81 200 a year, besides other consdera-
tons which will go to put the Academy of
Music in first class shape. Including the
remodelling of the building and the pur-
chasing of new scenery and additional IN
side furnishings for the house it is esti-
mated that there will be spent ION the
building between $500 and $4,000.
With the change suggested and in con-
temptation the stage will be larger, the
entrance will be entirely reaTanged, the
private boxes will be made Of some value
and the remodelled house will be convert
ed into an attractive and frst-class play
house, with a stage capable Of being set
for the best performances that comes
South.
Mr.. Schloss, to whom all signs point
as the lessee. is an experienced theatrica!
mana ger, and. he is now the lessee and
manager of a number of opera houses, and
is in touch with the managers Of the line
of attractions that come South His Sc
lection as the manager here will put Raj
eigh in the Leath-Schloss circuit, which
now numbers eleven theatres. 1t is under
stood that this will give Raleigh the very
best attractions obtainable, and this being
so it is certain that Mr. Schloss will re-
ceive every encouragement, for Raleigh Is
anxious to see within it first-class play
house, in which frst-class plays are pre-
scented under a frst-class management OF
affairs
1t is understood that as soon as the
lease contract is signed that work will be
commenced on the remodelling OF the
Academy. and that this will be pushed
so that by the middle or last of August
the house will be ready for occupancy.
