Hammerstein's resolution to discard the Opera • Salome ' from his Philadelphin répertoire and continue the presentation of such works as have caused the people to look upon this new Opera House with love and pride . " « NB the opera was scheduled , also , , for Boston , denim Holy Week . . Sunch it was banned ,
