Star drama critic barred from Grand by Cort decree
The Star's dramatic critic could not buy a Grand Opera House ticket and was turned away by manager Cort who banned The Star from the Seattle theater as well. The piece mocks Cort’s authority and mocks the theatre trust while promising the critic will disguise himself to attend future performances. The column lampoons censorship and the ongoing dispute over access to Cort venues.
