THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Next Tuesday evening comes Deuman Thomp-
sons famous pay to the auditorium. This an
nouncement is welcome to all classes of
theatre patrons, the play is always a deserved
ly popular one but the more welcome in this in
stance because the large stage of our new theatre
admits of the favorite being surrounded and
mounted with all its realistic scenery and stage
effects. At its former visits here hardly any of
the company's scenery could be used and much
of the realism of the piece was destroyed Now
however, the opportunity occurs for Manager
Mcfarland to give us as realistic presentation
as any that has been given In Boston or New
York. Added to the stage effects will be the in
PRODUCTION of a fitting finale to the old farmyard
scene of a startling realistic summer storm Of
thunder, vivid lightning and visible rain show
er, the whole produced by elec rical devices
The company that will present the play is the
one with whom Mr.. Thompson played so long
In New York city. Boston and Philadelphia, and
though he has left the stage himself, he has kept
the company intact, so the play will be presented
by people who have had the advantage OF a long
association with their different parts. The must
cal portion of the company is stronger than was
ever heard in the play before, and will offer a
new selection Of old-fashioned harmonies ar
ranged for them. The wonderful scene of Grace
church will be shown in all its moonlight glory
and the singing of THE Palms service by the
Homestead choir will be particularly appropri
ate Just following Palm Sunday. We have nc
doubt that all the promises of the management
will be fulfilled and that we may look forward tc
dramatic treat that will be revelation TO ouI
theatre goers.
