Uncle & Nephew. Fortune Gallo, for 17 years owner and director of the San Carlo Grand Opera Co., has given over his holdings to his nephew, Aurelio. This year the Manhattan autumn season will be omitted, the Company going on tour Sept. 26. Meanwhile Uncle Fortune will build a new theater on 54th st., Manhattan, where, if the structure is completed in time, the nephew's Company may be seen in a spring engagement.
