Dalton Opera House

Many years ago, Dalton had an Opera House
Many exciting & fun events were held there.
There were meetings and political speeches given there.
There were dances and movies.
There were many plays and the best actors & actresses in 
town took part in the popular presentations!


This is the cast from the play, "Between Two Lives"
presented in 1916

Another pose from "Between Two Lives"
Pictured, back:  L-R:  Ida Johnson, Noble Dahlager, Palmer Bergerson,
John Utne, Henry Johnson, Neola Skrove, Arthur Hanson.
Fromt, L-R:   Clifford Torgerson, Martha Skrove, Nels Fossan, 
Palma Rovang, Ben Johnson, Ada Torgerson

I think this one is from a little bit later, but I am not sure.
Nels Fossan is seated on the left, but I do not know who
the others are.



Here is the old Opera House, also known as the town hall,
photo was taken some years ago.

This is how the Dalton Opera House looks
today.  It has been restored and will
hopefully have some good concerts 
and maybe even some plays there again!!
