Daly was burned out of his theatre
on 5th Avenue in 1873. He
leased a theatre on the corner of
Broadway and 28th St. and
named it the New Fifth Avenue Theatre,
although its location had nothing to
do with its name. After Daly vacated,
it was leased to a succession of
manager. Joseph Haworth appeared there
in 1877 supporting John
McCullough, and in 1898
co-starring with Helena
Modjeska. |
