Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 203, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 August 1915 — Ellis Theatre. [ARTICLE]

Ellis Theatre.

The Comeli-Price Players presented “The Traffic” at the Ellis theatre last night and gave an excellent performance of this drama. While the theme of this play is not the most pleasant, the members of the company were called upon to present the details of this traffic in a manner which tested their ability. The many scenes were very strong and Miss Fairchild in the difficult role of “Agnes,” acquitted herself with much credit. A vein of comedy introduced by Happy Hal in the role of the Irish janitor, relieved the tense situations. Tonight the company will appear in one of their comedy successes, “When Reuben Comes to Town,” with all new. specialties between the acts. A matinee will be given at 2:30 p. m. Saturday, at which time the comedy drama Kelly, From the Emerald Isle,” will be presented with the usual specialties. The matinee price will be ten cents to all.
