FISKE O'HARA'S NEW VEHICLE.
Augustus Pitou, Jr., intends to follow closely in
the footsteps of his illustrious father in the man-
agerial field, by presenting Fiske O'Hara, the fa-
mous Irish tenor, in a new Irish comedy entitled
"The Rose of Kildare" next season.
The production will be one of the most elaborate
in the popular field, and is scheduled to appear
early in August. The book, lyrics and music are
by Chas. Bradley and Edw. A. Paulton and the
four or five hit songs in the production are to be
published by Leo. Feist.

rich Americans were willing to make good the
$200,000 that will be forfeited if he puts on grand
opera in New York in less than ten years after
his sale to the Metropolitan Opera Company.
Oscar Hammerstein had realized that it was no
use to try and fight the Covent Garden Company in
London, his representative said. He would return
with Orville Harold and Felice Lyne after his
short season of popular opera is over.
