The room was a dismanteled barroom, and the platform was flanked by blankets. Mrs. Leighton and a troupe presented the play ' ' Naval Engagements ' ' to the ' * highly marine population of Walla Walla. Thirty-five ladies graced the dress circle and 162 gentlemen laughed with delight on board benches at the expense of one dollar each. ' ' 35 The hurdy-gurdy or dance houses were features of every center. One of them is described as follows : "At one end of a long hall a well stocked bar and a mon...te bank in full blast; at the other a platform on which were three musicians. After each dance there was a drink at the bar. The house was open from 9 P. M. Until day-light. Every dance was $1. 00 half to the woman and half to the proprietor. Publicly, decorum was pre- served ; and to many miners, who had not seen a feminine face for six months, these poor women represented vaguely something of the tenderness and sacredness of their sex. ' ?3C Most of the hurd- ies were German women, who followed the business for gain the majority homely enough, but some good dancers.
