Show GEO. 0. PYPER IN AN EXPLANATION Bditor Standard: My attention has been called to an article in the Stand- ; ard in which it is charged that the management of the Salt Lake theatre used influence to prevent tho booking of the Boston Grand Opera company In Ogden. It seems almost a waste of time to deny such a story, but I would like your paper to understand j that it is absolutely untrue. I look j after my own booking and do not interfere with others. We always appreciate ap-preciate the attendance of our friends from Ogden at the performances in the Salt Lake theater, and when an attraction does not plav in Ogden, we n turally make an effort to secure the ' attendance of as many of your people as possible, but we have never made an effort to prevent the attractions from playing in your city, in fact, Mr Gosb knows that we have traded dates In order to permit attractions to appear in Ogden. (Signed) GEO D. PYPER, Manager. r ri |
