OLD HOMESTEAD TONIGHT.
1.-THE Old Homestead" will, no doubt,
prove a drawing card at the Ope. a
House tonight. 1t is a play that is
always new. The sayings of Uncle
Josh Whitcomb, clothed, as they are,
in the humble language of the farm,
always contain a kernel of truth which
loses nothing by being retold. The story
of the playis clever one and the moral
good.
But the lesson that 1.-THE Old Home
stead" teaches, and that might have
been learned by heart years ago from
other sources, is that the faithful por
trayal of human nature, slightly ideal
lied, will always win the admiration of
the masses and compel the praise of
the critics. AS a matter of fact, on
close inspection it will be found that
''The Old Homestead is constructed
with more regard for the dramatist's
rules than appears at first sight. 1.-THE
Old Homestead" is perfect play, and
reflects in it's presentation the events of
human experience.

A touching scene was witnessed in
Salt Lake the other day. says an ex-
change. A Denver forger, Ernest
Schroeder, was lodged in the Salt
Lake jail. He repeatedly begged for
his violin that he might practice. At
last he was handed the instrument in
Chief Paul's office. The Tribune
gives a graphic description of what
followed. 1t says: "His beloved
instrument was placed in his hands.
Then a strange scene followed-strange
at least considering the surroundings.
With head bent low and eyes shining
with emotion, he drew such strains
from the instrument as had never
been heard before by most of the blue
coated auditors. Schroeder is a con-
summate artist-one of those musicians
whO.are born, not made, and for an hour
or more he delighted the breathless
audience with bits from the melodies
of Beethoven and Mozart, interspersed
with snatches from old fashioned songs
that brought tears to the eyes of many
a one among those who thronged the
room. The instrument talked and sung
and wept by turns under the inspired
touch of this man who must soon suffer
the penalty of his crimes by long res
idence behind the bars of the Canyon
City penitentiary. 1t was a strange
scene and pathetic one, and when at
last the instrument was put away and
Schroeder mad been led back to his cell
it was a sober crowd who sat in the sta
ton and discussed the strange story of
this man who is at once criminal and
an artist of such undoubted skill and
even geniuS.'

Matt and Jules Grau are clever men
to meet and talk to. Last evening the
HERALD reporter had long talk with
them over theatrical matters general
ly. After talking over many things
the subject turre1 to their own COM
pany. Mr.. Matt Grau gave some strong
points in favor of the weekly stands he
was making 10 the towns. He argued
that the expenses were so much less
that it enabled him to play for much
smaller admission fee, so that when d
weeks stand was made that the prices
were placed at %. 80 and 10 cents
whereas when one night stand was
made 81 80 admission was charged for
the same show.
The Grau company carry a large
amount of their own scenery and have
an elegant company ward robe. The
repertoire for next week is as fine one
as ever seen in Ell Paso, and in all the
plays only one was ever before wit
messed here. The repertoire for the
week is as follows:
Monday night, ''Beggar STUDENT
Tuesday, Paul JOnes;" Wednesday
Fra Diavola:" Thursday, Tar anC

Just now Ell Paso has surplus Of
amusements-in the theatrical line.
Grau's Opera company with thlrty-tive
people has been in town since Sunday !;
and yesterday afternoons Southern Pa
cific from the west brought in the "Old
Homestead company. The latter COM
pany intended playing Silver City, but
found they were unable to make rail-
road connections so they came on here
and took nights lay off. Mr.. Warming
ton the manager of the company, said to
HERALD reporter yesterday that he
had been playing to an enormous bust
ness all along the road, and in his talk
he mentioned several of the big stands
made where the dollars flowed into the
boz office like stream of water.
In speaking of the play Mr.. Warm
ingtOn said:
"Some one has likened a visit to
| ''The Old Homestead to the trip of a
waif of the city to the country in the
burning hot days of summer. The
wide. open country, clear blue sky,
sparkling pure water, scented fields,
wholesome food and exercise and smil-
ing friends, blow into blazing and
healthy energy the fires of youth which
had peen banked and hushed by the
grit of entailed poverty ana ignorance.
| They are possessed with strange feel
| ing of strength, gladness and hope. The
sunshine of heaven, pure and untram-
melled has poured into their Swallowed
| lives, and brought glow and vigor
which blossomed into smiles and words
like the purple crown of lilac bush,
long repressed by dense foliage and
| shade A noble charity is this fund
which gives to the little wanderers of a
big city an annual taste of sky and
woods. and stirs their cheeks and eyes
with an emotion of pleasure which sits
| so we'll on childhood"
| This attraction will appear at the
opera house tonight and if past success
es count for anything they will have a
| full house.
