Dramatic.
Am Episode i'm the Old Days RecalIed-
 Brewster Hall.

An Episode i'm the Old Days RecalIed-
 Brewster Hall.
 The very dramatic incident in Frank Mayo's ''Davy Crockett" ," that where the redoubtable Davy pushes his arm through the door staples in place of the wooden bar, thereby keeping out the rapacious wolves, who are in full fury trying to force entrance, is evidently eribbed bodily from an old play, the Golden Farmer" which was popular fifty years ago, and was occasionally played up to within twenty years since. The incident in the old play is even more striking, as it is the far mer's wife whose bleeding arm bars the door against posse of officers who are after her husband with her child held under one arm, the other securing the door, thus hold ing the officers at bay, while the husband es' capes through the roof of the cottage. This and the immediately succeeding tableau make a strong situation.
 The "Golden Farmer, or The Last Crime, , a drama in two acts was written by Bsnja- min Webster. It is strong play, but an un- fortunate denouement precludes it from be- ing revived in these days when farcical after pieces are no longer used, as they formerly
 
 by sombre drama.
 The last time the Golden Farmer" was attempted in this city somewhere about twenty years ago, and resulted only in an at tempt. The company which was to have produced it was local affair, though several of the leading members were professionals who were printers as we'll, 1t being then quite the common thing for an actor to be engaged in business or work at a trade. Among the company were Charlie Church, who was very good low comedian; Jack Sheffrey, general utility, and Charles Cliff ford, walking gentleman, compositors on the Duly Norning Neacs.
 On the evening for which the play was ad- vertised Brewster's Hall was comfortably filled with an audience which, with more or less patience, waited until nearly nine o'clock, when it became generally circulated about that the "Co-operative Dramatic associa- tion" was at that moment holding 8 stormy meeting behind the scenes which threatened at once its own disruption as we'll as the evenings entertainment for the assembled patrons These rumors together witk the fact that the orchestra, which till now occasionally lent it's pacifying aid, played no more and that the double bass began to put it's great green ulster on, served to extin- guish the last hope, and before Charlie Cliff ford, who appeared on the stage an apolo- gist, could deliver himself of dozen sen tences, the eIlraged audience was on it's feet and stampede was made on the doorkeeper and box office. Money was not refunded and the tickets that were then given for an- other performance are still treasured ''memo- rabil'' J. G., JR.
