The Columbia Theater has changed man- agement, and from now for the next ten years its fortunes will be controiled by Messrs. Joseph E. Luckett and Wm. J. Dwyer. The lease was signed last Monda but for reasons best known to the parties interested publication of the facts was de- d until today. The new managers are ell Known in this city, both are young, active and energetic, and they enter upon their work with the full determination to succeed and make the Columbia Theater among the most popular playhouses in the city. Mr. Luckett has had considerable ex- perience in theatrical management, first in connection with Metzerott Hall, the prede- cessor of the Columbia Theater, and last year, when he was asseciated with Mr. Frank B. Metzerott in the handling of that theater. He has a wide acquaintance with and theatrical pe among whom he has made many w friends, who will aid him in his new venture. Mr. Dwyer has made a good reputation as a newspaper man, having been connect- ed with the Associated and United Press associations, and he is now part owner and business manager of the Bulletin. He has developed fine business capacity and will probably look after the financial affairs of the theater. These gentiemen are said to have excellent backing, and there will be no lack of effort to place the Columbia Theater on the very best footin, ‘The new managers have announced their policy to be an independent one, and say: “We shall do our own booking or throuzh a New York representative not yet announced. We snall book any and all first-class attractions, whether con- trolled by the so-called syndicate or not, and will Go business direct with managers of attractions. In taking this cozy house the new manegement intend to make it one of the leading comedy theaters of the country. In reference to the statement that Mr. T. C. Noyes is the financial backer of the enterprise, we desire to state most positively that this is incor- rect. The financial backing of the new managers is composed of a company of well-known Washington business men, among them the lessees and managers of the tneater.” An evidence of the enterprise of the mayer agt.
