Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 January 1920 — FIRST ROAD TOUR. [ARTICLE]

FIRST ROAD TOUR.

First road tour means that the whirlwind comedy “Friend Wife” has never been presented in your city before, the piece was written by Chas. Sumner and Harry Segall, and has been credited x as being one of the cleverest comedies of the day, it is entirely different from the usual run of comedies, for the material offered in this play is original and unique. The play, had a run of several months in New York and the principals in the present cast are the ones who appeared in the New York production. This being the first road tour it is needless to say that Manager Hill was fortunate in securing this play and players to appear at the opera house on Saturday, January 31st, this engagement was brought about through the company making some changes in its route while on its way to the coast, and through this late booking Manager Hill made arrangements with the owners of the company to present the piece at reduced prices, which will be 50c, 75c and SI.OO, instead of $2.00, which price this company has been playing to. Special scenery and all stage requirements are carried by the company. i
