SUNDAY SHOW WAS
SHAME OF LYCEUM
Continued from Pase I.

aters conducted by Billy Jackson,
Risky Barnett and Ole OLSEN in their
palmiest days, had never been Sc
raw He added that the perform
ances at the old Metropolitan were
angelic compared with last Sunday
evenings performance at the Lyceum
theater where the people of Duluth
seek pleasure and pastime with their
families.
Can Only See the 3Coin.''
Some theater managers are capable
Of seeing but little farther than the
box office receipts. They do not
seem to appreciate that they have
in their custody the good name of a
family theater or the moral reputa-
ton of the place. 1t is necessary
when occasion requires it to give
such managers a publicity jolt that
will compel them to extend their
vision from the box office beyond
the footlights and from there to the
sanctity Of the home.
The Lyceum theater is licensed hs
the city of Duluth to do business.
If this license should be revoked it
would be obliged to close it's DOORS
and incidentally it's box office. There
is something wrong with a city ad-
ministration that will permit such
licensed playhouse to pollute the
morals Of community such as was
done last Sunday.
Are Sunday Shows Legal?
The legal right of the Lyceun or
any theater to give performances on
Sunday is doubtful. It is only per-
mitted because Of the liberal thought
that prevails in Duluth. There are
some recreations and some pastimes
that are excusable on Sunday, but
only SO when health, rest, good NOR
ais and such are promoted. The
people of this city, however, will not
tolerate repetition of such a debas-
ing and revolving performance as was
played at the Lyceum theater on
Sunday last. A theater that per.
mits it ought to be closed.
If this kind of publicity does not
succeed in influencing the manage
ment of the theater so that it will
refuse in the future to show immoral
plays, and if the city authorities will
not prevent the exhibition of such
plays, then about the only thing that
is left to do is for the newspapers ia
publish on their front page the names
of the people who attend such per-
formances.
Business Men Were There.
On Sunday last number of we'll
known business and professional men,
many of whom are said to stand so.

spicuous seats in the Lyceum and
laughed heartily at the revolving and
disgusting "dafydills" sprung by the
mentally debased male and female
performers
If burlesque company of this
character ever shows in the Lyceum
theater again we pledge the people
that The Labor World will publish
on it's first page the name Of every
known patron, no matter what his
business or social standing in this
city may be.
The Labor World does not pretend
to be custodian of the morals OF
the city. of Duluth, but there are
some things that half decent and
half bad people and newspapers will
not stand for, and this is one Of them

Above all, Darrow needs sympathy
just at this moment, for he has a
heart in him, and he needs to know
that in the fight that is being made
upon him and the treachery Of which
he has been the victim while fight

friends are still his friends and be-

charges brought against him by his

bitterest enemies of the working

Auto Truck Broke Bridge

A four-ton auto truck owned by a
Norwich cor Germ which was transfer
ring household goods from that city TO
Oakland, Il. L., went through small
wooden bridge in the eastern part of
the town one night last week. The
planking on the bridge gave way let
ting the rear wheels down. The truck
was pulled out with difficulty.
The heavy loads going overland
since motor power has come into gen.
eral use is weight unforeseen when
these small bridges were built. 1t was
evidently anticipated by the selectmen
when they asked to have the annual
town meeting of 1911 instruct them to
build the abutments of such bridges
with reinforced concrete. Their re-
quest was not complied with.
