NEW YORK, Feb. lathe Grand
opera house, once Jay Gould's mag
nincent home Of the drama. has been
turned over 10 burlesque. Thus ends
another cycle in the history Of a
famous New York institution.
Where Is the Grand opera hOuseI
Many persons who have lived I'm New
York 10 or 20 years and attended the
theater quite freely viii ash this Ques-
tcn. For OF late the Grand opera
house has been "a neighbOrAOOd affair
patrcnized by the dwelers nearby,
like many a new playhouse in more
modern parts OF the great metropolis.
IL has been, too, largely the home Of
the Irish drama Of The lighter sort.
Eighth aV and TWenty-thlrd ST.
was corner in the center Of New
York wealth and fashion 45 years ago.
10 was in 1869 that Morris Pike built
the Grand opera house. But before
he could open the doors 10 the pub
lie. the prOhibitive money rates which
followed the war drove him TO the
wall and the property passed into the
hands OF the skyrOcket fnancier. Jay
Gould.
He not only made the playhouse a
notable home for the drama, but he
and his associate. Jim" Fisk, had
their Offices in the building. Those
who visit the Grand opera house to-
day are sometimes moved TO remark
the deliberately carved wooden doors,
bearing the Inscription "E. r." This
stands for Erie Railroad" the line
Gould wrecked.
Gould had "A private entrance from
the TWenty-fOurth st. side and until
about 1900 the Gould family retained
their private box, too.
lt is hard 10 name a player Of any
note in America today. unless we in
clude the very young, VINO has never
stepped on the boards OF the Grand
opera house. The Gilbert and Sulli-
van school Of comic opera occupied
the theater for several years and fill
ed the Golfers of the managers. one
brilliant star OF this period was
Josie Mansfield whose fate was trag-
ically interviewer with Fisk's.
In 1872 Augustin DAILY began his
connection with the Uheater Three
years later the policy OF the Grand
opera changed. AZ became a house
where the successes of Broadway
stopped for a week or two at the end
of their runs, playing To crowded
houses at popular prices. This policy
was continued up 10 the present final
shift.
At TIE same time the featuring Of
Irish stars in Irish plays should be
noted. W. j. ScanlOn and ChaunCy
Olcott are two who got their stars on
the stage OF the Grand opera house.
The ancient theater is still a strong.

sons in comfort and able TO give
pointers 10 many Of the newer Broad
