WILL GIVE US SOME HIGHER CLASS SHOWS.

Manager Ellis Has Decided to Pat On Some More ExpenslveTaient as a Fall Experiment. Manager Ellis has decided to try out the theatre goers of Rensselaer this fall by putting on some shows of a higher class and consequently a higher price than is usually shown in towns of this size. The trial is experimental and as to whether |t will be kept up or not will depend upon the appreciation of the public. The first of these shows will be the Wizard of Wiseland, a mythological musical comedy written by Eunice Fitch and Harry Scott and set to music especially written by Ldo Lazelle, a French composer. The date is Thursday, September 19th, and the prices range from 35 cents to SI.OO. There will be a stage filled chorus girls, a total of 41 being advertised, and Mr. Ellis i;s given to understand that it is in all respects A meritorious troup that is certain to be worth the money to all who attend. If the patronage justifies it, other high class performances will be used during the coming season.
