Travelling Passenger Agent Church
was in the city last Monday and at that
time stated that during the winter
months the road which he represents
would run a theatrical excursion train
to Denver, providing the people were
willing to patronize it.
The above announcement coming
from Mr.. Church shows that the Colo
RADIO & Southern is always endeavoring
to do things that will please the people
of Idaho Springs.
The people who are lovers of the the
ater should get together and organize
theatrical club, SO that Mr.. Church
may know just what to expect.
The Broadway theater has booked
for the coming season some of the
best companies on the road, and it
would be no more than right that the
people of this city should have the op-
portunity of seeing some of them.
1t has been suggested that a special
train be run to Denver once a month.
IL SeVenty-nVe people would guarantee
to make the trip there would be no
trouble about securing excellent SER
vice. In that event the train would
return the same night and the people
would lose no time The idea is good
one and it is to be hoped that the mat
ter will be taken up at an early date
Among the shows and actors who
have world wide regulations might be
mentioned the following: Tim Muir
ply will appear October 9th in "Old
Innocence" Then there is Stuart Rob-
son, who will present Henrietta" and
School for Scandal during the week
