COMING.
Manager Ellis of the local play house after a great deal of corresponding, figuring on railroads and changing of dates, is able to announce the appearance of W. F. Mann's newest success, “The Fighting Parson,” from the pen of John A. Preston. A bright pastorial comedy drama in four acts with a superb cast of metropolitan players. It comes with the stamp of approval .from all the eastern cities w'here clergy and theatrical critics pronounced its success, as a clean play void of vulgarity and horse play. It’s lines are bright and natural. It has a real plot with an air of refinement that appeals to all, old and young alike, or as one eastern critic says: “A voting lady can go with her sweetheart to see the 'Fighting Parson’ without being embarrassed.” It makes its bow to a Rensselaer audience on Monday night, at the Ellis Theater. August 15. Seats on sale at Jessen’s.
