There are so many different kinds OF
realism on our stage nowadays that one
has oftentimes the greatest difficulty in dis
tinguishing between the bad and the good,
but there is no trouble in deciding when
such plays as ashore Acres" are pre-
scented. Mr.. Herne has chosen story OF
the utmost simplicity, but its treatment is
such that it stirs the heart alter the manner
Of true poetry. 1t is possibly this feature
which makes ashore Acres" one of the
most beautiful plays ever put upon the
stage In the drawing of his characters
Mr.. Herne has also shown great ingenuity.
Each and every parsonage is distinct
type, and their idiosyncracies are sharply
differentiated. The love interest is strong
but not paramount. 1t is the lifelong sac
rifce of Uncle Nat and the love of right
eousness that emanates from noble heart
that holds the audience spellbound.
''Shore Acres" is a play far superior to
the average pastoral, and to one who has
witnessed its presentation the great success
it has achieved is readily understood.
