Shore Acres.-That ideal comedy
drama OF American home life, "Shore
Acres" will be the attraction at the lowe
Opera House next Saturday night This
beautiful play continues to attract all
classes of theatre goeis and it promises
to be more successful than ever this sea-
son, which is is sixth consecutive one.
The people in the play are all common
everyday types and they only do such
things as people do in everyday life and
therein lies the great strength of this in
teresting comedy-drama. hecharacters
are easily recognized and one feels that
nothing is overdone, but everything is
true to life. Til, character of Nathaniel
Berry is admirably drawn and its inter-
probation is artstically perfect. Another
important factor in James Herne's play
are the children that run off and on the
scenes just as children do in our daily life.
They know nothing OF the tragedies
being enacted about them, nor do they
care for anything beyond the pleasures
OF the hour. The children in ashore
Acres" belong there and their happy
prattle forms delightful background to
the more sombre scenes.
