Open Letter
to MONTE

1t is very noticeable that Mr..
Montrose OF "The News" seems to
take special delight in knocking
the Carson Opera House and its
management on every occasion upon
the slightest provocation, whereas a
word to MIR. Meder or myself woul'
put us in touch with minor com
plants which we are always more
than glad to correct ii possible.
To conduct the Opera House we
must have the cooperation OF the
press, and right here extend my
sincere gratitude to all the papers OF
Carson for excellent treatment in
advertising, but Monte, it is fact
that time spent on petty complaints
such as appeared in the News of
this morning. applied to short sy-
nopsis OF the excellent production
by an exceptionally fine company OF
"The House of Thousand Candles"
as produced at the Opera House last
night would be interesting reading.
and assist materially in getting other
high-class attractions for Carson.
The Opera House management is
paying the highes percentage bid
ding for these fine attractions. and in
paying these high terms hardly
breaking even, my observation is
the owners and trustees are keeping
the house open simply for the bene-
fit of the public.
NowMonte please help US, don't
we try to help you?
