In the sleepy Idaho town of Nezperce, a storm has been brewing over the high school’s recently finished auditorium. W.P. Conger, the owner of a local theatre, has taken to the pages of The Nezperce Herald to set the record straight. Conger’s place of amusement has been at the center of a heated debate, with some accusing him of charging exorbitant prices for the use of the auditorium. But Conger asserts that this is nothing more than a baseless rumor.
According to Conger, he donated the profit from each show to the school, barely covering his expenses. He claims that one disgruntled taxpayer even went so far as to tell him that he charged a whopping $2500 per night for rent – a claim that Conger calls a ‘prevarication’.
Despite the controversy, Conger remains defiant, insisting that he has always been committed to giving the people of Nezperce a choice when it comes to entertainment. He points to the variety of photo plays he has brought to the theatre as proof of his dedication to the community.
As the dust settles on this tempest in a teapot, one thing is clear: W.P. Conger is not one to be trifled with. His loyalty to the people of Nezperce is unwavering, and he will not be swayed by baseless accusations.
