By January conditions had improved and churches and theatres were reopened. Thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, the Homestake Opera House opened its doors to the public on Monday, January 27th.

On April 13th, the Opera House closed its doors once again, this time out of respect for Phoebe Apperson Hearst, who died at her home in Pleasanton, California. Work in all departments of Homestake was suspended in memory of the great philanthropist who had been Lead's friend.
