II has frequently been said Of Shore
Acres that it is not a play, but leaf
from the book of nature. The simplicity
and nauIralness of Mr.. HerEes ia
ImOus work has always been fayorably
commented upon and the success of
this exquisite idyl of New England
farm life is justly deserved. The char
acters that give life and color to
shore Acres are all original and in
nearly every instance are drawn from
life. Mr. Herne lived among the Maine
folks he has introduced for a number
OF years and he has carefully studied
their idiOsyncrasies. Uncle Nathaniel
and his slow, drawing speech are not
amy more real than Joel Gates and his
iungain.y walk, or Ma Berry and her
quaint reiterations. Years ago shore
Acres" was accepted as the best native
lplay yet produced and it still retains
that distinction. The ninth consecu-
tive season for this popular work Is in
itself a record for any dramatist 10 be
proud of and there is no telling how
many years more will pass ere Shore
Acres is to be laid away on the shelf.
A fine and complete scenic production
of Mr.. Herne's cOmedy-drama win be
given in the Opera House on Thursday
