Last night at the Columbia Theatre
Westinghouse were introduced to a new
bucolic play, The Dairy Farm" and it
proved to be one of the best specimens of
the kind that has been seen locally for
long time. Miss Eleanor Merron is the
author of the play. and, in addition, por-
trays most admirably one of the leading
roles, and proves that she is a decidedly
bright and clever young woman. In her
initial effort at playwriting, she has
scored distinct success.
OF course. there are certain convention
alities of the hdyseed drama that Miss
Merron has not had the courage to ig-
more. There is a barnyard scene with
horses, and hens, and chickens, and a
noble dog that works a ohurn. birds sing
frogs Croak, and other bits of realism are
introduced: then there is a party scene
on a winter night, with the jolly farmers
and their best girls arriving In sleighs,
and the usual games and singing. and
dancing and, concluding with d quarrel
between uncle and nephew. the act end
ing with the nephew and his mother and
the girl of his choice being driven out into
the storm and forming a picture at the
snow-cOycred window as the curtain falls.
But in the third act. Miss Merron cuts
loose from the bonds that have bound her
to the conventional rural drama and as
serts herself, with the result that this
act is the best in the play. 1t is intense
