Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 December 1905 — "A CELEBRATED CASE.” [ARTICLE]

"A CELEBRATED CASE.”

Quite a number of town people went out to St. Joseph’s College Monday evening to witness the play “A Celebrated Case,” which was given by the college students Thanksgiving evening and met with such hearty approval that it was repeated Monday night. The play was given in the auditorium of the new gymnasium building, where they have a fine large, well lighted stage, supplied with hundreds of dollars worth of new scenery. “A Celebrated Case” is staged in a prologue, four acts and four scenes.' Twenty-nine characters, soldiers and convicts were in the play as rendered, and each acted his part to perfection. The time of the play is the Battle of Fontenay (1745) and twelve years after. The costumes were very handsome, the acting perfect. Excellent music was furnished by the college orchestra, and everyone in attendance from town felt well repaid for their trip.
