Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 92, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 April 1911 — Damon, and Pythias. [ARTICLE]

Damon, and Pythias.

The Stock Company returns neat Friday, April 21st, in the immortal drama, “Damon and Pythias.” Since this play was first, produced in Convent Garden, London, in 1821, It has been a perennial. The basic principle on which it was founded appealed and still appeals to all. It has furnished material for nearly as many quotations as some of Shakespeare's plays. It has furnished the basis for the ritual of one of the largest fraternal organizations in the world, the Knights of Pythias, under whose auspices and whose request the company produces the play here. From the way tickets are going there will undoubtedly be the S. R. O. sign out on Friday night. Their married life, with the exception of two years, whioh were spent in Newton county, has been lived in this county. They resided on a farm in Barkley township until in IB9K, when they came to Rensselaer, where they were residing at the time of her death.
