SHORE ACRES This drama by James A.
Herne, presented at the Belfast Opera House
/ Sept. 2Stn, was the best play seen here for
many seasons. 1t was exceptionally pure
and the Impression left on the mind of
those who Witnessed it and grasped its
meaning was mingled admiration of the
author and the actors. Uncle Nat was a de-
cided, success and the darling little children
added very much to the natural charm of
the drama. If such plays were more com
mon there would be larger audiences and
no adverse criticism. We hope this com
pany viii visit us again soon and are sure
they would be welcomed by a crowded
house.
