the Academy of Music.
The farce, Girl Wanted which is now
being played at the Academy of Music,
has been drawing crowded houses. and
wholly upon its mirth provoking qualities.
There is that in the piece that gives the
risibles no rest. The plot is a mere shred
on which is strung the amusing situations.
and during the development Of which
pleasing specialties are presented. Mr..
Frank Bush assumes many different
characters during the evening and man
ages to so bewilder the audience as to his
real personality that it greatly adds to the
enjoyment
"Shore Acres.D
shore Acres a play that has won ex-
traordinary praise in many quarters, be-
gins a weeks engagement at the Academy
Of Music on Monday evening next, with
the author, James A. Herne in his orig
inal creation of Nathaniel Berry. The
production to be given in this city of
Shore Acres is guaranteed to be similar
in every detail to that seen in New York,
Boston and Chicago. In these cities the
play scored some great u Shore
Acres is a psychological study, uncon-
ventional, instructive and provides the
necessary contrasts and situations. Mr..
Herne spent a number of years among
the people whom he introduces in his
play. and many of the characters have
their living prototypes.
The story of Shore Acres is free from
all complications, the author depending
upon the differentiation of his characters
to hold the attention of the audience. The
two Berry brothers, Nathaniel and Mar
tin, the last-named a married man with
a family, are living on a farm at Berry,
Me, which faces Frenchman's Bay. Incl
dentally they also take turns in tending
the Berry lighthouse. Their home life is
unusually happy until a neighbor, JOSIAH
Blake, induces Martin to cut up his farm
into building lots. Josiah Blake is also
in love with Martins daughter, Helen, but
she loves Sam Warren, a young but inn
pecunious physician, with whom she
elopes, being aided by Uncle Nathaniel.
This causes trouble between the two
brothers. In the last act Martin learns
that his land speculation is a failure. Sam
and Helen come home and are forgiven,
and the farm is aved by the back PEN
sion money voted to Uncle Nathaniel. The
finale of "Shore Acres Is spoken of as
a dramatic revelation.
Entire new scenery and some novel
mechanical effects will be employed in it's
production. The company supporting Mr..
Herne includes over twenty-five artists,
prominent among them being Misses
Grace Gaylor Clark. Lucy Morrow and
