Do you mean the Tabor Grand in Denver or the original Tabor Opera House in Leadville? According to Caroline Bancroft's book entitled "Silver Queen," the Tabor Opera House in Leadville opened in November, 1879. Lizzie McCourt Doe arrived in Leadville one month later, she told her biographer. She recalled that Jack Langrishe's stock company from New York had been brought in for performances for the opening. The play they were presenting was "Two Orphans." The Tabor Grand opened with Emma Abbott singing Lucia. Performers in Leadville and Denver included Lily Langtry, Lillian Russell, Sara Bernhardt, Mme. Modjeska, John Drew, Augustin Daly, William Gillette, Edwin Booth and Otis Skinner. Let me ask one? Tabor owned the Leadville Herald. It must have been a competitor to the Leadville Chronicle. Do copies of the Herald still exist? Frank Sellers
