Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 243, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 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 costumes. 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 he 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 crowded house is expected both nights. Seats go on sale at Jessen’s Jewelry store Wednesday morning, Oct. 12, at nine o’clock.
