Denman Thompeon's "Old Homestead "
THE Old Homestead" is q play that
never grows old. It belongs to the
class that Ia abreast with and represents
the best impulses of the times. TIA
popularity has been phenomenal, and Il
should continue to be. Persons who
believe the world ia growing no better
will find little to encourage them in
this belief in 1.-THE Old Homestead
The story Of the play can be briefly
told. One Of . thousand New England
homes, one OF g thousand honest far
mers, one Of thousand sons seeking
q great city In search of fortune, one
OF a Thousand snares entrap him. One
OF thousand trsmps proves that graft.
tude and heartfulness can d we'll in the
heers of . social outcast. For once in
a Thousand times the prodigal returns
and Joy reigns supreme. IL Is not an
unfamiliar story, except In Its denoue-
ment. There are lights and shadows,
smiles and tears. joys and SORROWS In
This play; all real, all genuine. And
the world is better for such a play.
The supporting company comprises
some OF the best character actors now on
the stage, and with the addition of q
double qusrtette end choir OF twenty
selected voices, it may justly be said
that thta grand play has never been 90
