Samuel Pike under books.google shown as Samuel R. Pike / Hecht, but under Index listet as (right) Samuel N. Pike / Hecht (german name)
Samuel N. Pike under books.google the reason for this difference is shure this old Book: Das deutsche Element in den Vereinigten Staaten von Nordamerika, 1818-1848 (A. E. Wilde & Co., 1880) listet Samuel N. (written like a =) R. (?) Pike.
This Book:"Das deutsche Element in den Vereinigten Staaten unter besonderer Berücksichtigung seines politischen, ethischen, sozialen und erzieherischen Einflusses: Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung seines politischen, ethischen, sozialen und erzieherischen Einflusses." listet right to read: Pike, Samuel N. (Hecht). Hope this help, regards Bernhard --StromBer (talk) 07:07, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph

[edit]

A photograph of the northwest corner of Eighth Avenue and 23rd Street as it is today would make a telling addition: caption: Urban renewal: the site of Pike's Opera House --Wetman (talk) 10:12, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The current illustration (at right) may not show this theater. It is midblock, on the west side of an avenue with an elevated line, and not on a corner.--Wetman (talk) 04:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That theater appears to be Thalia Theater by the title at the top of it. The transit along Eighth Avenue (disambiguation) does not include an elevated line, only streetcars and the current IND subway. 67.84.27.8 (talk) 12:50, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The photo bears a striking resemblance to File:Bowery-Thalia Theatre.jpg used to illustrate the Bowery Theatre article. 67.84.27.8 (talk) 12:55, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The photo has been changed. Vzeebjtf (talk) 08:19, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Name of article

[edit]

Shouldn't this article be called Grand Opera House (Manhattan)? It was only Pike's for one season, but Grand for many years. It is much better known as Grand. Vzeebjtf (talk) 11:51, 29 September 2015 (UTC) Vzeebjtf (talk) 18:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
