About Plays and Players By BIDE DUDLEY avaverey ORRIS GEST. the Man isn’t a and has never of delving into that branch of art. Therefore, Broadway is indulging fn quite a bit of speculation about the report that his lease on the big Thirty-fourth Street theatre contains @ clause which expressly states that the Manhattan is not to be used for Grand Opera. The gossips are finding ft difficult to hit upon a plausible reason for the clause unless Otto F. Kahn and his associates in the Metro- Politan Opera Company were Instru- Mental tn having it put tn the loas The Grand Opera season which r cently ended at the Metropolitan Opera House was profitable, Those who like to guess are estimating the Brofits as low as $100,000 and as high Qe $750,000. But, regardless of their Guesses, there was a substantial profit shown on the season, and profits have @ habit of breeding opposition. No- body would be quicker to realize this than Mr. Kahn and his associates tn the Metropolitan, How , with the Manhattan leased to Mr, Gest under a “no grand opera” contract, the Lexe fngton Avenue out of the running and the Metropolitan and Century con- trolied by Mr. Kahn and his asso- ciates, it would look as though the Grand Opera situation in New York Were “sewed up,” wouldn't it? The Shubert-Comstock & Gest lease, under which the Manhattan has been operated for five years, will ex- Dire with the beginning of fall and the new lease wMl then become effective. If Mr. Gest had any associates in his plan, which resulted in his acquiring control of the Manhattan, he has not gaild so. HELPING THE ALLIES.
