Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 16, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 November 1908 — Hail to “Gus” Phillips. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

Hail to “Gus” Phillips.

On Tuesday night, Nov. 10th, at the Grand Opera House. Lafayete, Ind, Messrs. Sam S. and Lee Shubert will offer for the first time in that city, ‘‘The Wolf.” One of the many striking fea f ures in the play is said to be the finale of the last act, which is played on a dark stage with the moon hidden behinl dense clouds. The fight be’ween the two star charac f ers is not seen by the audience, but the exchange of defiance, the pistol shots and the scuffle, with the sound of a falling body at last, are heard and until the winner in the fight reveals his face by the glare of a match with which he is calmly lighting a cigarette, the audience is in doubt as to the outcome. A Monon special will leave Rensselaer at 7 p. m. and return at 11 p. m.

MR. AUGUSTUS PHILLIPS of “The Wolf” Company, Direction Sam S. and Lee Shubert. (Inc.)
