has been chrstened The Sixty-third
Street Music Hall"
This name was selected from q list
II more tnan twoscore submitted to
the management by various New York
musicians and those interested in the
project The choice was made despite
the fact that the term "music hall"
has become more or less identified with
vaudeville On America through associa-
ton with the English idea.
The arguments advanced in favor of
the selection were based on the fact
that the British application in reality
is misnomer and that the term music
hail" when rightly applied and inter
preted means hal. for so-called "legit-
innate" concerts and recitals. 1t is the
purpose OF the lessees and management
TO establish Music Hall a.ong these
lines.
