oThe VILLAGE Postmaster.D

The better part of realism that is not
wholly confined to scenery and effects,
but is shown in characterize ton, Incl
dents and dialogue, marks The Village
Postmaster which has been enacted
at the Fourteenth Street theater. New
York, for 227 nights, and has just fin
iShed a most successful run of 125
nights in Chicago AS a production of
New England life. naturalness is its
prevailing trait. The story of the play
is interesting and runs through a series
of charming rural scenes. The char
acters are of the plain, honest New
Hampshire stock taken direct from the
farm, and scenes are all laid in the
little town of Bridgewater, half a cen
fury go. The same quaintness of char
acter and costume. the same rustic sim
plicity naturalness and realism so
prominent in The Old Homestead
dominated The Village Postmaster
Incidentally there is sufficient pathos to
heighten the effects of the comedy and
an atmosphere of quaintness. pic
turesqueness and romance which adds
a delightful coloring to the play. The
same big production and cast as when
the play was seen in New York at the
Fourteenth Street theater and in Chi
cago, will be presented at the Crawford
opera house on Tuesday, October 10
1t is with sincere pleasure that the at
tention of our theater patrons can be
directed to this picturesque drama of
New England life that comes to us so
highly endorsed, and it should be we'll
