Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 December 1902 — A CLEVER PLAY. [ARTICLE]

A CLEVER PLAY.

A clever play is often marred by the work of a mediocre company, and an excellent cast are frequently saddled with a poorly written play; but when the best of both are combined the result is surprising. Of the latter class is “The Poisoned Dagger,” the best work of that sterling playwright, James Kennedy, which Manager Henderson is producing with Mr. Thomas J. Dempsey and his big company of comedians. He has surrounded this company with all the accessories of a first class company and offers the same to the theatre goers of Rennselaer at popular prices for three nights, starting Dec. 8, with a change of play and specialties each night. The pricees for this engagement are 10, 20, and 30 cents, with ladies free on the opening night.
