Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 255, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 October 1910 — Public Wedding. [ARTICLE]

Public Wedding.

Invitations are out announcing “Maloney’s Wedding,” at the Ellis theatre next Friday night. This is the James L. McCabe musical absurdity which for a number of seasons has served to amuse thousands of theatre patrons. The bill was formerly produced by Billy Barry and Hugh Fay under the title of “McKenna’s Flirtation,” which proved to be a great success. It is an extremely funny musical farce comedy, with a theme full of burlesque situations, indescribably ludicrous, movements that v are brisk, and dialogue tearse, bright, humorous and running over with repartee, leading. to climaxes having a whirl and “go.” The theme and dialogue lead to the natural introduction of specialties, both individual and general ensemble. The musical numbers are of the latest and catchiest kind. The dialogue is such a rapid fire of funny lines with amusing situations that the audience does not recover from one shot before there is a double discharge from another source. The leading character is that of an Irish comedian but there are four other distinctly good parts, strongly drawn and varied in characterization.
