THE OLD HOMESTEAD.
|eoosoeeoeeeeoeooee00e0eG

Visited by a Large Number of People,
 Despite the Weather.
 saThe Old Homestead" one of the pur- est. most wholesome, instructive and in- teresting dramas that ever graced the boards was presented at O'Brien's last night to a large. highly delighted and appreciative audience.
 The play, which for years has been an attraction to theater-goers, loses none of it's interest in aging. On the contrary, like wine, it becomes better. The play is one which, to use the oft repeated -eX- pression, is a sermon of strength, brim- ful of morals and lesson to old and young alike. Dear Old Josh Whitcomb, one of natures noblcmen, sublimely grand in his rural simplicity, fatherly in his every effort to make the whole world akin, is study well worth the noting. There is great scope for an actor to show his ability in the part and some have said only two men could carry the lines as they should be. But MT. John Barker proved himself fully capable and was at home in the lines as if he were the origi7 nal Joshua himself.
 Fred Clarke and E. H. Stephens, as Cy Prime and Seth Perkins, two New Englanders in their second childhood, were very clever. Frank Knapp as Hap py Jack Hazard, was also very good.
 Miss Lizzie Hall as Josh's Sister, Aunt. Matilda, was5decidedly clever.
 Miss Rena Howard, in the soubrette role, eff such it might be termeD, of RicketyAnn was very good.
 Tn fact the cast throughout was very evenly balanced.
 The Old Homestead double quartette sang several very beautiful selections, and rendered them superbly, winning several deserved encores.
 Miss Berger won a twice repeated en- core in her "Rock-a-Bye Baby" song.
 The stage sets were very pretty and correct, the finale of the first act when a vision of the bar-room scene was re- produced, closely followed by clever rainfall scene, being especially fine.
 Uncle Josh will keep open house at O'Brien's this afternoon at matinee and tonight, and will be pleased to greet large audiences at "The Old Homestead"
