Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 203, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 August 1912 — “A Modern Ere." [ARTICLE]

“A Modern Ere."

The opening of the Fall Season in Chicago still finds that champion of all musical successes, “A Modern Eve” the king-pin attraction of the city, and it has entered upon Its eighteenth week at the Garrick to the usual capacity business and up to and including Saturday night, August 17th, 160,995 persons have attended “A Modern Eve.” It is quite evident that “A Modern Eve” possesses a phenomenal hold upon playgoers, and that it will still be some time before Chicago is willing to permit the Mort H. Singer musical success to depart. If ever there was a happily devised situation to send an audience away laughing, it is the brilliant divorce court finale in “A Modern Eve," wherein a dominating mother-in-law, her down-trod-den husband, a flirtatious judge and a young married couple engage in a legal controversy, the developments of which are decidedly humorous. IMort H. Singer has never assembled a more attractive and capable cast than the one appearing in “A Modern Eve.” The chorus is a particularly superior aggregation of stage beauties. There are nightly performances, including Sundays, of "A Modern Eve,” and matinees are given on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Out of town orders for reservations for, all performances can be made by long distance telephone or by mall, the management taking special pains to accommodate visitors.
