Title	Leadville Opera House scenery project, 1933
Creator(s)	Current, Ira B.
Summary	Photoprint of watercolor of Leadville, Colorado's Tabor Opera House "Palace Drop". The painting depicts a vast hall in sharp perspective with a series of columned arches and a black and white marble floor. The original drop was lent to the Denver Theatre for its opening of "Silver Dollar". In December, 1933, a group of students, a former Tabor stage manager, and professors set up original canvas flats and drops to document and photograph, while Wolle sketched each set and made color notes which were developed into large watercolor paintings.
