Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 171, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 July 1919 — GORDON PLAYERS PLEASE LARGE AUDIENCE. [ARTICLE]

GORDON PLAYERS PLEASE LARGE AUDIENCE.

The Gordon Players, gave their first performance in this city Monday night. The large tent on South Van Rensselaer street’ was well filled. The play, “Give the Ladies a Chance,” a four-act comedy, made a decided hit with the audience. The company came to this city with splendid recommendation. Some years ago they appeared at the Ellis opera house and at that time their work was very high class. They have been showing in Remington a . number of years and always draw large crowds. They had excellent success at Francesville last week. They will be in Rensselaer throughout the week and will undoubtedly enjoy a very large patronage. _ Tonight they will present “GOOD-FOR-NOTHING HUSBAND,” a comedy. W. L. Bott, the obliging telephone proprietor, left a fine basket of Pulaski county apples at our door today, for which he has our very sincere thanks. Apple pie and apple cobbler are mighty fine. Pulaski county apples raised in an orchard -owned by a Jasper county man and cooked by a Rensselaer woman make a combination which cannot be beaten.
