Show Opera llouso Management. The Enquirer is certainly sadly to blame for not calllnir tho attention of tho public to Mm poor in iiiagemcnt of the opera house (us per Its version of It) until last, evening's Issue. For the conscientious Eoqulror to lot this matter slip lit attention nil tho ptist winter, while tho iiiunuaerdld all the advertising in Its columns.and now after all tho plays have parsed and tho muniigor advertise jmi, ouco In tho Dkmootat, for said Enquirer to purt nut lis malignity nn the opera home manager shows ion plainly that'll Is not tho dear publlo It Is concerned about, but Its own dear self. We would ask, who hns had any of tho ads. and ticket printing of the oporn bouse bm tho Enquirer; uiul ut Its own prlco for years' and now becauso It cannot keep up Its bulldozing practices ou the present manager It turns round and snaps, and snarls, and tries to bile. Tho uianugor Is smart onough to know that part of tho patrons of tho ope.ra house and possibly the most of them are Deuiocmts, and It Is nothing but just to give tho organ of Democracy a show, as well ns the meek, gentle, Chrlsilun-llk" Enquirer. In regard to tho Enquirer's charge of excessive charges for seats us compared to bait. Lake prices, wo may say thai, tho Biiino Is totally false. The prices In the grand opera house of Sa.t Lake are 26 and 50, nnd $1 for box seals. Hero 25, GO nnd 75. In bull Lake, theater 25, 50, 75 and S1.00. Same shows bore samu price. Speaking of tho opera house and Us management reminds us of tho now defunct Provo Dramatic compauy, one old momber of tho samo was remarking remark-ing that lu eurlv days tho Homo Dramatic Dra-matic gave excellent performances Hint were always well attended. Hub alter tho head-push of a ceriuln newspaper news-paper enmu to Provo, and wanted all tho proceeds of tho entertainment, in a most w'ltlNb manner, the trouble heunn; tho memboia got dissatilied and indifferent, nnd I hero has never been any great amount of Interest taken iu the company since. |
