Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 164, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 July 1919 — LITTLE EVA WENT TO HEAVEN SATURDAY NIGHT. [ARTICLE]

LITTLE EVA WENT TO HEAVEN SATURDAY NIGHT.

Another sure sign that the war is over. After an interval of several years, made conspicuous by its absence, Rensselaer was again given its periodical visitation by an “Unde Tom” show. This particular aggregation was modern in the respect of its transportation, being hauled from place to plaice by means of Henry Ford’s trucks. But this show was no different from the regular run of those kind ow exhibitions which are staged principally for the sake of the box office. The ice was as cold as Tom’s acting and the dogs were there with a big bark. Legree punished Tom in old-time form, and became the enemy of every small boy present. Eva went to Heaven in a burst of glory, said burst not being as of yore, and everyone was satisfied that the per-, formance was as rotten as all such shows are.
