A neighborhood that played an important
part in theatrical affairs Of long ago In
Manhattan was on Chatham street. near
Park Row. In 1872 there was a theatre
called the Chatham Gardens, situated on
the east side Of Chatham street, between
Pearl and Duane streets. 1t was managed
by Henry Barriere who devoted it to con-
certs and light plays. Out Of that grew
the Chatham Theatre, which stood on the
same site, and which was opened by the
same manager in 1924. Barriere died IN
1926 and after some years the theatre dis
appeared, being supplanted in 1899 by what
was known as the New Chatham Street
Theatre which was situated between
Roosevelt and James streets.
The theatre was opened on September II
ment Of H. E Willard and Tom" Flynn
he who, in defending himself from a drunk
en- attack by Junius Brutus Booth broke
the great tragedian's nose with a pewter
pot 1t occupied the site Of what is now
Nos 211 and 219 Park Row, which will be
sold by Mr.. Day on Tuesday at the Ex-
change salesroom, Nos. Il and 16 Vesey
