On Saturday, March 9, 1895, Robert Green Ingersoll returned to the Bastable Theatre in Syracuse to deliver one of his most controversial lectures on religion, "About the Holy Bible."
A newspaper ad promoting an Ingersoll Syracuse lecture. Reclaimed from microform by Doug Schiffer. The prices charged for admission to Ingersoll's lecture were well in excess of the Bastable's usual prices of 10 cents (gallery), 20 cents (balcony), and 30 cents (orchestra).
