Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 241, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 October 1910 — “ST. ELMO.” [ARTICLE]

“ST. ELMO.”

A play that is received by the press, public and the clergy with unanimous favor must contain more than average merit of dramatic presentation. All unite in proclaiming “St. Elmo,” as dramatized by that famous playwright, Myron Leffingwell, a superb creation, and one that will live forever. Most plays of modern times can be very readily discerned after the first act, but so complicated are the situations in “St. Elmo” that the auditor is kept guessing until the fall of the final curtain. Manager Robinson has secured a splendid company to portray the several characters and no expense has been spared to make the production noteworthy. Cathe Hadley, the creator of many of the leading roles in latter day successes, heads the cast as Edna Earl, Augusta J. Evans’ heroine in “St. Elmo,” and the balance of the company includes David Baldridge, Ralph Holland, Raymond Shaw, Fanny Riehle and Dorothy Emerson, who are fitted to the characters assigned them. The play will be seen here for one night only. The date is October 15th. •J
