Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 June 1902 — A BIG SHOW COMING. [ARTICLE]

A BIG SHOW COMING.

At Rensselaer, Monday June 16.

Frank E. Griswold s mammoth production of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, under a water-proof pavilion with a complete stage and car load of special scenery. Few companies carry the amount of scenery this show does, on account of opera houses being too small to accomodate or handle it. Mr. Griswold’s company only plays at the opera houses of the larger cities in the winter and uses his own tent in the summer and we can guarantee the finest production ever seen in this or any other country. The price of admission to Unlce Tom's Cabin has been placed at 25c for adults, children 15c. All children under 6 years, when accompanied by their parents, will be admitted free. We can afford this scale of prices as we show in a tent and can accomodate 2,000 people. So a father can come and bring his whole family. One of the biggest amusements enterprises ever attempted in late years is the produenion of Uncle Tom’s Cabin on an elaborate scale, with special scenery, their own special stage, and all produced under canvass. You will see it played in foil, without being cot short on account of small hall and no scenery. Don’t miss seeing it at Rensselaer, Monday, June 16, commencing at 8 p. m. Read The Democrat for news.
