DLNMaN THOMPSON
The Veteran Actor in THE old Home
stead al the Academy Tonight.

That venerable actor-gentleman Dem
man Thompson appears IN his own play
"rhe old Homestead" at the Academy Of
Music tonight and tomorrow matinee
and night
This play has been spoken Of as the
most brilliant skit on country life ever
produced on the stage. Yet those who
imagine 10 to be all froth and glitter are
mistaken. for Dsnman Thompson tells
a powerful story and tells il well. lie
has tried 90 teach lesson while amusing
MS audience The lines in The old
Homestead literally sparkle with that
keen wit and telling satire for which the
Yankee Is famed. being like rapier
thrusjs that tickle and raise the skin
and anon pierce deep. The characters
are clean cut the moral is good, and the
tendency of the play is toward that
greater good will towards man, that be-
levers in the millennium are constantly
seeking.
