The Holdrege Opera House is listed in the 1897-98 edition of the Julius Cahn Official Theatrical Guide. E. Roth was Mgr, the house had 800 seats, was on the second floor and had electric lighting. The proscenium opening was 50 feet wide X 25 feet high and the stage was 30 feet deep. There were 7 in the house orchestra, and tickets cost 25 cents to 75 cents.The Hampton Hotel was for show folks, and the 1897 population was 2,500.
