Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 February 1911 — Frank Maloy’s Opinion of “Amy of The Circus.” [ARTICLE]

Frank Maloy’s Opinion of “Amy of The Circus.”

“Amy of the Circus” is taking like wild fire. It will be at the Ellis theatre Friday night, presented by the stock company, which is giving such splendid satisfaction. The following opinions will be read with interest and should help pack the house: Lowell, Ind., Feb. 22. Friend Jim: “Amy of the Circus” drew the biggest house of the stock company’s season last night. The story is close to that of “Polly of the Circus,” cutting out, of course, the spangles, the ring and the acrobats, and is really as good or better than Polly. There is a mighty good lot of dope in the play, sufficient to point many a moral, mixed up with some of tingfeatest comedy I have ever seen Fester, as the deacon, was certainly some humdinger. The whole cast is above par, and it would be hard to pick out any particular one bt-iter than the rest. Trust you pack ’em in. FRANK. Kentland, Ind., Feb. 22, 1911. Manager Opera House, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir^, The stock company presented “Amy of the Circus” at our theatre last night and their v presentation of this comedy was certainly a great treat. As you know, their play* have been of a high order, but “Amjt.of the Circus’’ was far superior to anything presented heretofore. No matter how mrny good things you may say about this play, it will excerid your expectations. I am writing you unknown to Mr. Gordon or any member of the company. Yours truly, H. L. SAMMONS, Manager Kentland Theatre.
