Tucson, Ariz.-The Bird Cage opera
house, the Can-Can restaurant, the
Red Light saloon and the Tucson stage
office remain as relics of the one-time
glory of Tombstone, Ariz., as mining
camp. These old buildings were once
the scenes of the pioneer Arizona min
ing camp, but are now occupied by bats
and are slowly falling into decay.
The old opera house was the most
famous theater in the southwest DUR
ing the early frontier days. 1t is
rambling two-story structure with the
glass broken by the elements. A long
bar occupies one end of the building
while the piano players platform faces
it at the opposite end. 1t was on this
platform that the famous sign hung,
which read: "Do not shoot the piano
player. He is doing the best he cam"
The most famous variety performers
from San Francisco appeared on the
stage and Autographs announcing

is patriotic duty and necessity.
