Stories that recall the old home
among the hills, the silvery brook,
the sloping woodland, the wide-stretch-
ing meadows, the fragrant hay, and
the curious doiugs of the old folks
and the farm hands, will never lose
their interest. Such story is told in
the play cold Farmer Hopkins. A
sweet, clean, delightful touch of rural
life. Absolutely perfect in its scenery
and presentation. 1t is a sermon, a
song, poem and a picture combined,
not only enchanting while you listen,
but lingering with you as pleasant
memory for many, many days. Cen
