G"Uncle Josh Spruceby."

The play Of the above name is but
story of simple, honest people the
cardinal rule of their lives being a'do
unto others as you wish to be done
by.' The idea is as old as honesty,-
and is as enduring as the hills, tut in
the case of "Uncle Josh Spruceby,"
the application is dramatically differ
ent and treatment is novel. There is.
no straining for effect in the situa-
tions. A well-known dramatist who
witnessed rehearsal of the drama
said: sit is like the best stage thought
Of James Herne and at the same time
more modern in drama tization. 1t
think it is revelation OF the kind
for the reason that it is a perfect
stage novel, told in manner truly
dramatic and at the same time true
to life."
