The Old Homestead at AlbauRh's opened
Thursday morning. and was the largest for the
opening day that any comedy has been favored
with this season. Interest in this
famous play seems undated, and few
modern plays have more abiding hold
upon the sentiments Of theater-goers It
has been said 1.-The perfection Of art 10 the con-
cealment OF art. and this aphorism is essen
TALLY true of this piece, for with consummate
skill all appearance of design seems to be con-
cealed and the entire play gives the impression
to the audience that they are actually living,
for the time being, the life therein 20 grsphi-
caily portrayed The piece plays upon the
sympathies of the people as they never were be-
fore by dramatic study. There is a charm to
II which compels admiration as effectually AZ it
eludes definition. Full of human interest il
is domestic idyl, dream of New England life
based on facts and of u realism that Is great in
Its simplicity.
