A prominent east side real estate owner and lawyer states that within a
period of ten days twenty-seven conti acts for the sale of real estate ha:ve
been drawn in his office, and in every case the consideration was to be
cash. In his opinion the money that has been paid out in January interest
is not going mainly into stocks, but into real estate, and the redemption of
$6,000,000 of United States bonds wiU set free enough more here to fully
sustain the market.

Gustav Amberg, manager of the Thalia Theatre on the Bowery, has
leased Irving Hall and a house adjoining the hall at No. Ill Ea<st Four*
teenth street for a term of nineteen years, and wUl so alter and remodel both

Aniberg possession May 1, 1888, but in .conversation with a.reiK>rter
recently he is said to have announced that the work of alteration will be
begun in AprU and the house opened to the pubUc in October.   The altera¬





tions wUl cost about $65,000, and sketches for them are now being made by
ii.rchitect G. B. Pelham. When they are completed the house will have
thirty proscenium boxes and will seat 3,200 people. Mr. Amberg saj s he
was induced to take hold of this project by the very general wish expressed
by the better class of the German population for some up-town theatre
where opera might be rendered in German. He also adds that Hugo
Wesendonk, president of the Germania Life Insurance Company, and a
number of prominent German citizens have guaranteed bim $45,000 for
120 performances. The house on Fourteenth street will be converted into
a covered entrance to the theatre, and two entrances will thus be obtained.
The regular scale of up-town theatre prices will prevail here, and the prices
at the Thalia Theatre correspondingly reduced.
