Editorial from the Christian at Work.
The Old Homestead" seems to us as
near an approach as possible as to what a
play should be. Ii depicts very truthfully
country life in New England about half a
century ago.
the scenery is very rural and domestic
IN character, the haymakers gathering
around the old well singing. The Ness
covered Bucket that Hangs in the Well. -
,ty life, too. is also faithfully portrayed,
ana the audience is treated to an excellent
picture of Grace church, from which are
heard issuing strains OF sweet music by
the choir
Altogether the moral of the play Is de-
cided'y good and were every caterer for
pubic entertainment to give us so health
'ui ana innocent performance as this IA.
we ieei sure parents and guardians of youth
would no longer cry out as they now do
asalhst the immorality of theater-going.
entertainments of this sort are entitled to
press. ''''e'ous
