It is one of the best known theaters in the city and many of the celebrities of the stage have performeri there.

In 1893 Andrew Jeffriea Garvey, oldtime politician, drew up a lease of the premises, then containing two dwellir.gs, to Arthur II. Cutler, of the Cutler School. Tho lease was to begin the following year and run for twenty-one years at 88,600 per annum.

The taxes on the property at thc time of tbe lease were $1,037.40 a year, and it was agreed the. owner would al- ways pay this tax. but anything in ex? cess should be paid by thc.

tenant. In 1908 the Cutlers assigned the lease to W. W. T. M.

Sage Foundation Sells Forest Hills To Residents Syndicate Headed by John M. Demarest Takes Over and Devel? opment of Home Colony The Russell Sage Foundation has sold all thc stock of the Sage Founda? tion Homes Company, which developed Forest Hills Gardens, to a syndicate organized by John M.

Demarest, vice president anrl general. manager of the homes company. A large majority of the members of the syndicate are resi? dents or lot. owners in Forest Hills Gardens. Tiie transfer was made in accord with the plans of the Sage Foundation, which were to turn over at the proper time the management and development of the property to residents.

The officials of the Foundation are of the opinion that the chief purposes in organizing and developir.g Forest Hills Gardens have been accomplished. These purposes were to provide heaith fu! and attractive homes for people ar.d to demojistrate that'eareful city plan? ning, convenient tltoroughfares, quiet, domestie local and ample public spacos would make a satisfactory suburban development and encourage imitation. Mr. Demarest has been the general manager of Forest Hills Gardens since 1911. He has been responsible for the introduction of improvements that have added to the nrestige of the settlement as a residential development of the first character.

As Mr. Demarest will be head of the new operating and managing company, the future of Forest Hills may be ex pected to follow the principles that have prevailed there during the last eleven years. The sale in no rcspect changes the i legal relation of property owners in Forest Hills Gardens to the homes company. These relations reniain just! what. they always have been.

It means nothing more than a change in the stock ownership of the homes company and transfers that stock from the Sage Foundation to Mr. Demarest and his associates. All the covenants in tha deeds given by the homes company to purchasers continue to be effective, just as they always have been. The trustees of the Sage Foundation I havo welcomed this opportunity of transferring the foundation's interest' to those who are concerned in the con- tinued success of Forest Hills Gardens.
