“The Wolf” Highly Endorsed.

Manager Ellis- of the Rhn*setoer opera House received a letter last Friday from Toe Jetinings, tb’e nia'3agbr of the Grand theatre at Anddf* e*n> stating that “The Wolf,’ had just played his house and that he had met Gus Phillips. He said that he understood that a number of people from Rensselaer wer* going IP Lafayette to see the play, and he gi Ves the performance thhr etidOre■toen*: >‘l Want to say honestly that W ft one of' fhtf heft balanced companies 1 ever had to my honed add you can safely say that the play pie* sented by the same cast as seen her* Is almost satisfactory 1a every detail.” oenar G. Rite We, formerly of Renesetaer, aw# X leading furniture dealer at ASderaoa, wrote the Repabllcan under the date of Nov. 7th, as foflqws: “Enclosed you will find a* ctiifcism by" otff leading newspaper ’’The Itorntog HewMv” of the play "P» Welt,’ a# Deeeew'ed by m ShuheFt last ev«dßa» Itt 1* unusual for tMe paper to pay at tentton. oßf IHhHtWwT Pol™ Hfra r HU ««M to Mb h ocMfoftnMMP our Orta rtfaip# for mt nose etn cm worm us leading man.

To- on# familiar with that lift 1# tfi* far north, with all its romaice* mystery and-tragedy, this play makes a strong appeal, because of Its fidelity to nature. I ant glad to note that many df Gus’s frleends in R ndselaer are expecting to witness its production at Lafayette on.the 18th tost 1 can assure them an evening of pleasure and of pride to the. success of their fellow townsman. Gus Phillips is on the high road to success and may bis star increase to its lustre and add to the pride we now feel for him as one of Rensselaer's favored- sons. Let all of hi* friends go to Lafayette* ah# give him a rousing reception; He deeerTto* it and is ‘worth* the money’.” The clipping he sent has the following to say of Gus: "Augustus Phillips, as Jules Veaubien, the he o of the play, is a Rensselaer, lod., young man, who played his part with remarkably strong interpretation of the character. If his playing last night is his usual standard be- is certainly destined to be one of the greatest actors of his day in a few years. His French-Canadian accent was delightful and perfect - , and h’s conception of the parlf pleasing. Alice Baxter and the other cliar&ctres were good, and the entertainment Whs a very worthy one, ‘The Wolf was written by Eugene Walters, author of ‘Paid to Full', one of the % eat plays of the day. Up to Saturday night 156 seats had been sold and several others will probably go, so it is not improbable that there will be lb the neighborhood of 200 when the time for going areives. Gus was borne again Sunday and iemained until Monday at 2:01. They play at Kokomo tonight and Lafayette tomorrow night.
