engaged in the theatrical business
for good many years, was given the
management, and throughout the
years this veteran theatrical man
has conducted the Grand junction
playhouse, bringing scores of famous
attractions to this city and being re-
sponsible for great series of most
successful and brilliant seasons.
Many of the greatest artists of the
last two decades in the theatrical
world have appeared in the Park op-
era hou1e.
Besides its great array of theatri-
cal productions, the Park opera house
has also been the scene of many me-
morable political and civic meetings.
While there has been complaint
at times by some people to the effect
that the Park opera house has not
been as modern in every detail as it
might be, it is well to note that 1t
has through all these years compared
most favorably with the theaters in
any city in the state outside of the
city of Denver.
Great and improving changes will
