A Run on the Bank at the Opera House Tuesday Night
A fair sized audience welcomed Pusey and St. John and a capable troupe in A Run on the Bank at the opera house. The piece offered little literary merit but showcased many specialty acts and Rood’s singing, with the performance serving as an entertainment showcase rather than a coherent drama. Attorney General Sheets declares fines up to 100 dollars for first wilful noncompliance with local health orders, with possible imprisonment for subsequent offenses, enhancing health board enforcement powers.
