ashore Acres"

ashore Acres" one Of the bright
est and sweetest plays ever seen
upon sthe stage in this city,
will be given a handsome produc-
ton at the Grand Opera house
next Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
Saturday matinee.
ashore Acres" is true to nature.
The slow moving measures OF the
Maine pastoral are full Of the per-
fume OF sunshine-the open air
the ocean breeze. The theatre pa
iron who witnesses this delightful
play and cannot enjoy it, is to be
pitied. His appreciation for the
truly beautiful must be very small
indeed. Mr.. Herne has done
great thing for American stage
art in presenting such a character
as Uncle Nathaniel. The picture
Of man uniting in his person so
much that is unselfish, so much
that is lovable, so much pure hui
manity, so much Of the feminine
in his love for children, for the
weak and the oppressed, cannot
fail to make an everlasting inn
preston on all who can sympa-
thiZe with the joys and sorrows Of
the human race. The company en-
gagged to produce ashore Acres" in
this city is the same as will be
seen in all the leading cities Of this
country.
