representation of the old Bucksport
fire brigade attending a cOntiagratiOn;
also the scene in justice court in the
Maine village Of Bucksport. The title
character of the play, old Jed PrOuty. is
taken from person of that name who

years ago, and the dramatic incidents Of
the play are founded upon real happen
ingS in the place aB-that time. The
staging Of the piece is described as be-
ing most elaborate in every detail. and
comprises the same wealth of scenery
and effects that was used in the original
New York production.
