Default Frankie at Tabor Opera House



Looks like Frankie gave such a moving performance, everyone moved toward the nearest exit! Except for Herriman of course.

Frankie and Herriman are at the famous Tabor Opera House in Leadville, Colorado (silver mining town). Leadville is the highest historical town in the US at 10,000 plus ft. The Tabor Operahouse (named after the owner and silver king, Horace Tabor) was constructed in 100 days and opened in 1879. The seats are the original ones, and the theater backdrops are as well (and still used).

NOTE: The color of this photograph is simulated to the color tint experimented in 1904 using colored potato starch granules (red, green, and blue).
