Sabbath Theatrical Entertainments
in Denver Barred


Denver, April 28.-Manager Peter
McCourt of the Tabor Grand Opera
House permitted the performance at
that house by Primrose & Vests min
strels Sunday evening for a purpose.
For some time there has been a threat
of a renewal of hostilities against Sun
day theaters. Manager McCourt sta
ted today that he had no particular
desire to keep his theater open on Sun
day evenings, but that he thought it
was unfair for compliments to single
out the Tabor every time it announced
a Sunday performance. Other theaters
have been allowed TO give them with
out protest, but as soon as the Tabor
makes an announcement there is an
immediate howl
Il recognize the law in this matter
said Manager McCOurt this morning,
-and have no wish to violate it, Mr.
EdbrOOke and myself. as receivers Of
the house, purposely did violate it,
however, because if il is wrong for the
Tabor to open it is equally wrong for
other houses to do so 1t was in order
to give force TO the discrimination
against the Tabor that we permitted
the performance
