Title	Leadville Opera House scenery project, 1933
Creator(s)	Current, Ira B.
Summary	Group portrait of Muriel Wolle's December, 1933, University of Colorado scenery project team at the Tabor Opera House, Leadville, Colorado. Left to right are Max Vawter (Herald-Democrat press reporter), Frank Geck, Mr. Jolly (stage manager from Tabor's heyday), Mr. McMahon (district clerk), Muriel S. Wolle, June West, Newton Winburne and Eugene Irey (stage crew students) and Ed West (technical director of University Theatre). The group poses in front of the Tabor Opera House entry panel doors, dressed in winter coats and hats. The women's coats have fur trim. Some of the men wear fedoras, others wear derbys; two men are in jodhpurs and boots. The window on the right advertises "Fishin" and has a poster with "Elks Annual, Keno Game, Elks' Hall, Dec. 22, '33". The group located and set up original canvas flats and drops and documented and photographed their work, while M.S. Wolle (Associate Professor of Art, University of Colorado) sketched each set and made color notes which were developed into large watercolor paintings.
