Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 84, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 April 1911 — East Lynn. [ARTICLE]

East Lynn.

Our Stock Co. returns next Friday night with the play that is always new, although played before the American public since our grandparents were children, tbe ever green drama, “East Lynn.” Hardly a man, woman or child but has wept with Lady Isabel, hated Sir Frances Levison. pitied Archibald Carlysle and laughed at Mrs. Corny and old Dill. These characters have become classics, their words so familiar that one witnessing the play seems almost to be repeating lines learned himself. The plot, so true to life, appeals to all, and one never Bees it often enough to become surfeited with it. A play like “East Lynn” is like an oasis in the desert of modern plays and flimsy plots—it has a dignity, an appeal ail its pwn, shared by no other piece.
