Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 January 1913 — Halton Powell Co. [ARTICLE]

Halton Powell Co.

The Halton Powell company once more demonstrated their ability to make them laugh. “Let George Do It,” last night was about the most screamingly funny farce ever played in Rensselaer. The house was full and we can safely say there never was a more pleased audience in the theatre. Each night the play seems to be better than the evening before. Nothing quite like last night's bill was ever presented here before, in fact, none of Mr. Powel’s plays have ever been presented in Rensselaer. This city has never had a stock company before which really could play farce comedies. Tonight the company will present “The Price She Paid,” at a slight advance in prices. It is hoped the theatre will be packed the balance of the week.
