	In 1890 controversy swirled around the theater's production of the play "Money Mad." There was a prayer in the play and "certain persons" told the manager that it was "wicked" to keep it in the performance. When faced with the "dilemma" of removing the prayer or not, the manager put the issue to a vote. Every member of the audience was given two tickets when entering the building. One ticket indicated support for removing the prayer, the other showed support for keeping it.
