Madison Square Theatre, New York, on the south side of 24th Street, west of 5th Avenue. This was built on the site of
Daly's first
Fifth Avenue Theatre and was adapted by Steele
Mackaye for use as a repertory theatre on Continental lines, with a company made up of students whom he had trained himself. It opened in 1879, but soon failed and was taken over by Daniel
Frohman who reopened it in 1880 with Mackaye's
Hazel Kirke, a domestic drama which ran for nearly two years. Viola
Allen made her first appearance in New York here in 1882, in
Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and in the same year Bronson
Howard's Young Mrs Winthrop, one of the first good American plays, was seen. Albert M.
Palmer took over the management in 1885, and in 1889–90 Richard
Mansfield appeared in a series of revivals and new plays, including the first straight-foward translation of
A Doll's House which, with Beatrice Cameron as Nora, first brought
Ibsen to the attention of the American public. In 1891 the theatre was taken over by Charles Hoyt, and from 1905 it was known by his name. The building was demolished in 1908.
