i THE OLD HoMEsTEAD.
An audience which filled the town hail IN eve

ing in his new play The Old Homestead Eve

J. was occupied Probably no previous dramatic eve
Il has ever aroused more general or more pleasant y
ucipaton than did this aud It IL not too much to
that every reasonable anticipation was fully realz'
J. The play IL a sequel to "JoshuA Nhitcomb" in that
certain way II takes up the narrative Of that pl
and carries 1t forward with several OF tue old char
tiers In new scenes aud incidents. THE Old Hon
stead eau scarcely be said to have plot II cNns
II rather of series OF situations, at the WbitcOu
. homestead IN Swanzey and In New York city, vi

the season on which II has entered so suspicious
Il 1t is clean and wholesome aud in its freedom fro
strained situations and hints OF doubtful morals

q element aud flavor which touch the hearts of
- people, and herein lies the secret of its succe
