The young Washington actor, William
boag. Is being generally commended for
Introducing to the American stage one OF the
best impersonations OF the real farmer We,
seen. The comic side Of the agricllturist
has been the theme Of pictorial and theat-
rical Nrtoonists until stranger on our
shores might readily imagine that the sole
business OF our country cousins Is to raise
crops of farcical fun for the stage and the
comic papers. On the other hand, the cam
paign orators would impress the aforesaid
visitor with the Idea that the American
farmer Is the most miserable and Oppressed
creature OF earth. People who have the
pleasure OF his acquaintance, know that the
American farmer, while not devoid Of hu
NOR. is neither so merry nor so miserable
as he is painted. James A. Hearne, to
whom Mr.. Boag has been favorably com
pared, was the first actor who dared TO
play real farmer on the stage. Even Dem
man Thompson's Uncle Josh Whitcomb was
piece of theatrical extravaganza out of
Difference to stage traditions; but the
ground has been broken now, and we may
expect other actors of the rising genera
ton TO plow new and true burrows for
themselves.
