A Fine Prodnction.

Notwithstanding the complaints of the
hard times and the fact that all the col
lieries in this district were idle for week
and the general depression of spirits and
business caused by the recent heavy and
lengthy rain falls with their accompany
ing floods, and Notwithstanding the prices
of admission were fixed at 25, 80 and 75
cents and 81, the production of The Old
Homestead" at Ferguson's theatre last
night was witnessed by a crowded house.
The lower part of the theatre was filled
with prominent ladies and gentlemen,
many of them being visitors from the
neighboring towns. The gathering was
one to make a stranger believe
that Shenandoah is now one of
the most prosperous towns in the
country when all other places are
bemoaninR the depression of times. But
while such is not the case it carries with
1t a lesson, which is, that a tirst-class play
and a first-class company can fill the
theatre whether the times be good or bad
and the prices high or low. 1t can be said
without fear of contradiction that a play
and company never appeared in Shen-
andoah and gave more general satisfac-
tion than The Old Homestead" did last
night Enthusiasm sprang from all parts
of the theatre and the large audience
seemed to be in rapturous delight at all
stages of the play where the company
sought to make a special impression.
The play was one of the good, old fash
ioned, hOmespun life of the New England
folks. II was free from the glamour at
tending plays which depend upon me-
chanical effects for realism and not an iota
of blood thrilling dramatic play pene-
trated "A scene, Yet all was exceedingly
attractive and through the whole was a
beautiful thread of sentiment which APP
pealed to the gentle feelings of the
auditors and held their attention to the
last The peals of laughter were numer.
ous and at times the people almost
cried in their enjoyment of the
story of life which was so nat
urally revealed by the play. The
stage arrangements were complete in
every detail and the company proved a
well balanced one to the last. The sing
ing by the quartettes also took the house
by storm and three encores hardly seemed
TO satisfy the audience. With more en-
tertainments like THE Old Homestead
Mr.. Ferguson will succeed in convincing
the patrons of his theatre that life is
worth living, after all.
