Day 165 - Tombstone, Birdcage

Day 165 - Tombstone, Birdcage

This was called the Elite Theater, but was a Saloon, Gambling Hall, and house of ill repute as well as a theater. Women danced in cages suspended from the ceiling - prompting Eddie Foy to declare that they were like 'birds in gilded cages'. His friend wrote a song and an unknown singer performed it here to 8 ovations - Lillian Russel.
