Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 242, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 October 1910 — National Troubadours. [ARTICLE]

National Troubadours.

Beautiful scenes, catchy music, pretty girls and handsome costumes will be the order at the Ellis opera house next Thursday and Friday nights, Oct. 13-14, when over 100 of Rensselaer’s best talent will produce the “National Traubadours,” under the direction of Miss Helen Sine. The opening scene will appeal to all mothers, when the curtain will rise on a stage filled with some fifty fairies in white and gold eostumes. The fairies, a quartette of gnomes and the Fairy Queen, Miss Helen Kiplinger, will all carry their part in a way that will be distinctly pleasing. The “Troubadours” proper will represent a number of countries and in each case a soloist accompanied by a chorus in costume will give songs and drills appropriate to the country represented. There also will be a number of character and musical sketches. The Troubadours take pleasure in announcing that they will be assisted by Miss Myrtle .Swain, of Louisville, Ky„ a violinist of some note, who will render several solos. The “National Troubadours” is an entertainment different from anything ever given in Rensselaer, and a (jrowded house is expected bQth nights. Seats go on sale at Jessen’s Jewelry store Wednesday morning, Oct. 12, at nine o’clock.
