     Concerns the future of the New-York Theater, to be under the direction of Mark Smith and Lewis Baker. “The plans of the managers are not yet entirely matured; but we believe it is proposed to present light pieces in the best possible manner. There is room for such a theater, and the enterprise has been undertaken by competent persons.  We wish it entire success.”
