Richard Goldens beautiful play. "Old
Jed Prouty,'' will be presented at the Sc
attic the last half of this week beginning
Thursday night, with the flavor of green
fields, the aroma of new-mown hay, the
geniality and simple habits Of the rustics,
that always have a fascination for the res
idenls of the city That is. perhaps, the
reason why this pastoral idyl which
deals with country life and charms Of
rugged naturalness, has proven such a
success. There is no depicter of the en-
ergetic, warm-hearted countryman who
can surpass Richard Golden's great char
acter delineaton of Jed Prouty typified
in the stern yet kindly old man, with a
heart and face open as the air whose life

that comes from days of self-denial and
