Proclamation of Holy Week.
The clergy objected to the opera on
moral grounds, and many of them con-
sidered a presentation of "Salome" next
Thursday would be a proclamation of
Holy Week, which is rigidly observed
by the Roman Catholic and Episcopal
churches.
H'ammerstein Withdraws.
Mayor Hibbard notified the lessees of
the Boston theater Frohman & Harris,
today that if the Manhattan company
persisted in its intention of producing
"Salome" he would invoke such power
as he possessed to stop the presenta-
tion. Governor Draper informed the
representatives of the company that he
had no authority to stop the produc-
ton, but he hoped they would not pre-
sent it, as by giving the opera in Holy
Week many people would be offended.
AS a result of the numerous protests,
Oscar Hammerstein, the director, de-
cided not to present the Objectionable
opera.

impossible. They persisted. l con-
sented to the extent of advertising
performances and awaited results.
They were just what I expected. Bos-
ton will not stand for It, I knew
Boston better than the Boston critics."
