Gives Way to New

New York.-Onel of the most famous
musical landmarks in the country has
just ended its career with the formal
closing of old Steinway hall, on Four
teenth street near Union Square, this
city. Opened in 1866, the hall has re-
sounded to the voices of Adelina
Patti, Christine Nilsson, Charles
Dickens, Edwin Forrest, and host
of other great musicians, actors and
lectures of the past. Now, after near
ly sixty years of existence, it. is being
abandoned by it builders, Steinway
and Sons, as result of the shifting
of the city's artistic and social CEN
tiers to locations further uptown. A
new Steinway hall has been built on
Fifty-seventh street, whose formal
opening will be held in the fall.
From the time of its opening, in
1866, to 1890, the hall was accounted
the finest auditorium for concerts and
addresses in the city. There practic-
ally all the musicians and lectures of
note in this country and abroad made
their New York appearances. There,
in 1867 and 1868, Charles Dickens
gave the first of a series of readings
from his own works and Adelaide
Ristori; the Italian tragedienne, ap-
lpeared also in readings, assisted by
Theodore Thomas and his orchestra.
In the months that followed Christine
Nilsson, the Swedish nightingale"
made her American debut at the hall,
as did also Anton Rubinstein, the
pianist, and Henri Wieniawski, the
violinist Others who trod it's boards
during the next few years were Edwin
Forrest, Carlotta Patti, Henry M.
Stanley, Luigi Arditi, Mark Twain,
Ole Bull, Minnie Hauk, Rafael Joseffy,
Alesandro Salvini and Adelina Patti.
In more recent times the hall has
seen the New York debut of Fritz
Kreisler, then boy of IS, the appear
ance of Victor Herbert, fresh from
the Court of Wurtemberg, where he
was violincellist to the King, and con-
Ger engagement Of such artists of
note as Eugen D'Albert, Conrad
Ansorge, Arthur Nikisch, Anton Seidl,
Nine. Lilli Lehman, Emil Fischer,
Emma Juch and Nine Marcella Sem
brich.
In 1890, the northward movement Of
New York's amusement centers result
ed in the formal closing of the large
auditorium in the hall, although a
smaller one has been used in recent
years for recitals by Joseph Hoffman,,
Nine. Yolanda Nero and others.
