Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 January 1912 — "Casey Jones." [ARTICLE]

"Casey Jones."

The .selecting of titles for plays is the most difficult part of the theatrical business. Many splendid plays have been financially unsuccessful on account of having titles which did'* not appeal to the public. Oliver Labadic let "Casey Jones” lay for two years after it was completed, before he hit upon the apt title which has been largely responsible for the success > of the offering. The plot of/ “Casey Jones” would suggest the following titles: “Is Marriage a Failure?’’ “Winning a Husband,” “ A Bargain Husband,” The Boy From HarVard,” “Self Sacrifice,” “The Spinster and'tbe Lawyer,” “Too Much Married,” and “In Love With His Wife.” These titles indicate the broad scope of the plot. It is an up-to-date comedy drama in three acts and is considered somewhat “unusual,” combining heart interest with lots of clean fun and a plot which it 18 a joy to fathom until the last lines have been spoken. “Casey Jones,” with the original company, will be seen at the Wilis Theatre on Tuesday, Jan. 9.
