Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 March 1905 — “THE HOLY CITY” WELL LIKED. [ARTICLE]

“THE HOLY CITY” WELL LIKED.

Portrayal of the Biblical Drama Is Given at the Lyceum Theatre. A well filled house witnessed the presentation of “The Holy City” at the Lyceum last evening. The plot of the play deals with incidents during the time of Herod the Great, ruler of Judea, and introduces a large number of Bible characters. Being strong in dialogue, as it is, close attention is necessary in order to have a complete understanding. Many of the lines are taken from the Bible and teach lessons of lofty import. Very appropriate and handsome stage settings are used throughout, and a capable company of players interpreted the work of the playwright to the evident satisfaction of the audience. The part of “Marius,” the Roman soldier, who loves the daughter of “Herod,” was portrayed by Mr. Edgar Jones. Mr. J. E. Illias handled cleverly the part of “Herod,” the weak and vacillating king and Mr. Charles Richmond in a commendable manner, played “Judas” the traitor. —St. Joseph Gazette St. Joseph, Mo., Sunday, Jan. 29, 1905.
