Bucklen Theatre Directors Oppose Open Political Meetings
Elkha Opera House association directors at a special meeting rejected opening the Bucklen theatre to political gatherings during the campaign. Four board members attended the session but failed to secure the president and vice president, leading to a compromise: a $50 penalty instead of $100 for permitting meetings, and a $1 fee if the ministerial association rents for revival meetings this winter.
