“UNDER THE STARS AND STRIPES” WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

War Drama to be Enacted by Militia Company, Assisted by Chorus From Rensselaer High School.

The home talent play to be produced Wednesday night by a cast selected from the local militia company should prove one of the best war dramas ever witnessed by a Rensselaer audience. The finishing touches will be put on at dress rehersal to be held tonight s at the opera house. The chorus from the girls of the Rensselaer high school will open the performance Wednesday evening with a beautiful Japanese character song. There are fifteen girls in the chorus and they have been trained by George H. Hoskyn, who plays the heavy role in the drama which he wrote and which has been played by militia companies all over the east and central west with great success. At Monticello the play made such a hit that it was produced a second night to take care of the great demand for tickets. The advance sale has been large and the reserved seats will probably be largely exhausted by Wednesday noon. Persons who have purchased tickets should have them checked at once at Jessei^s. The following cast has been selected for the drama: Lieut. Andrew Fairfax. .Eltoer Wilcox Sergt. Zeke Hilliard. .Geo. H. Healey Lieut. Dick Foster..C. Arthur Tuteur Jose Howard B. Peacock Corporal Lester M. Speaks Carlos Bernard F. Ellis Francisco Chas. F. Spain Sentinel Isaac Wiltshire Jerusha Jones... Mrs. Geo. H. Healey Lucy Fairfax Maurine Tuteur Ysobel...
