AT THE THEATERS,
A Visit to New Ensland-Sketchss Of City
Life and Character,

Life and Character.
THE fashion of sketching characters from the
l life, American life, and tying them togethe Or
with very slender thread of story, is growing.
This fashion. which Denman Thompson set and
William Dean Howells and few millions of
men and women have approved, Is
responsible for the production OF
"Old Jed Prouty" by Messrs. William Gile and
Richard Golden. The experts have not deci-
ded vet whether such q collection Of character
sketches deserves to be called play, and 1oI
our part we think it well might be content
with the title of dramatic spectacle, or some
"Old Jed Prouty" is amusing, humanizng and
thoroughly good and clean. 1t certainly does
man good to see it; twill make him laugh
heartily, think not little, and refresh MIN, II
he be a city toiler, as q breath OF country ar
often does in haying time. The piece demands
no criticism in detail. The dialogue IS very
ordinary talk, and the plot is hardly pig
firmly, truly drawn; the New England atmos-
pbere comes with them. and for the most part
what they do and say is free from exaggera-
tlon What enlargement or carlcatuIe ao tneae
sary to please all parts of the house-whlch
successful play must do.
Mr.. Richard Golden has evidently spent in,
finite zeal and care over his conception OF OIo
Jed Prouty, the landlord of the hotel in Bucks
port. Me-, on the Penobscot river. His Is a
remarkably clever piece of work; genuinely
thetic. He wins our sympathy as well as our
smiles. The company which supports him Is
so evenly good that partlcularization is super
fuous, unless we say that Frank X. Jackson
was extravagantly humorous in the makeup
as in his acting of the village policeman. 1t
should be said also that quartet of good
voices adds to the charm of the piece, and Miss
Dora Wiley's wonderfully sweet singing
worthy is she of the title 'Sweet Singer of
Maine"-is thing apart from the play which
is well worth visiting the Bijou to hear. The
theater was crowded last night and the audi
ence was highly delighted with the play in its
entirety.

Harris Theater.

RARrIEY CAMPBELL's 'play that made the
fame of its author in a night" my Part
ner," in the hands of Chapman & Sellers ex-
cellent company that was seen here but few
weeks ago, drew two very fair-sized audiences
to Harris yesterday. despite the chilly wealth
er that has been so long coming, but has come
at last. The audiences yesterday seemed as
deeply interested in the working out of the
plot of the play as If they had never heard of
it before. The weeks engagement promises
to be profitable one.

Miss Edwards Lecture.

THE prospect of there being large and rep.
resentative audience at Old City Hall when
Miss Amelia B. Edwards begins her lecture
tonight is extremely good-in fact, the greater
part of the hall is sold now. The few remain
ing seats-all Of which are goodwill be gob-
bled up to-day. no doubt Nothing can be added
to what has already been said about Miss Ed
wards abilities as q lecturer but it may be said
that the value of the lecture will be greatly
HANGED by the beautiful illustrations which will
be furnished by the stereoptican. Miss Ed
wards brings with her the stereoptican, and
man who knows how to manage it. The views
of Egyptian scenes have been spoken Of in the
highest terms of admiration elsewhere.

A LITTLE HAND,

Perhaps there are tenderer, sweeter things
Somewhere In the sun-bright land;
Bat thank the Lord for His blessings,
and the clasp Of little hand.
A little hand that softly stole
Into my own that dan
When needed the touch that loved SO much
To strengthen me on my way.
Softer 1t seemed than the softest down
On the breast OF the gentlest dove;
But its timid press and its faint caress
Were strong in the strength of Lowell
1t seemed to say In strange, sweet Wy:
81 love you and understand,
And calmed my fears as my hot, heart tears
-E. L. Stanton.

for preacher to be one. 1t is hardly probable
that anyone has ever doubted the possibility of
an editor being a Christian. 1t is not more
probable that any intelligent person has ever
doubted the ability of all men, of whatever con-
dition or calling, to become Christians.
