Richard Goidcn's Old led Prouiv.

Richard Goldcn's acting. and the
play Of odd Jed Prouty" can be en-
joycd over and over again: each time
some new and delicate beauty appears,
Or some pleasant memory awakened.
or some sweet fancy is suggested.
Certain il is that no other play before
us at the present time abounds in
such wholesome material as we find in
the homciy pictures and the genial
humor and the tender pathos pre-
scented by Richard Golden in this work.
Amid all the changes and fluctuations
to which our stage has been subjected.
there has obtained a strong demand
for a purely American drama--a play
which should truthfully illustrate a
type of humanity. This demand is
fully answered. we think. in "Old jed

its naturalness that it seems to be not
a play. but actual bits of Yankeedom
and of Yankee flesh and blood plucked
from the Down East and spread before
us for our delectation and benefit
Richard Golden himself is unques-
tionably the only delineator of Yam
kce character the stage has had: he
does not act-he is. Until he gave us
Old Jed Prouty the Yankee Of the
playhouse was simply a buffoonish
freak. to lie ranked with the con-
ventional negro minstrel and the typi-
cal stage Irishman.
"Old Jed Prouty." SO truthful of il
lustration and so pure and kindly of
motive, may he accepted as altogether
the best American play yet produced
We who live N CT
peculiar obligations to Richard Golden
for the good h brings to us in this rare
work of his. Sometimes business.
sometimes ill-health. and sometimes
poverty keeps us from revisiting the
old homestead and the old folks. but
none of us ever loses his love and
generation for the dear scenes and
kindly spirits about which the tendrils
of memory cling so tenderly.
We laugh riotously, for it is fun to be
bows and girls again: but we cry. too.
for in all we see and hear there is so
much of suggestion. We see more
than our eyes behold and hear more
than that which falls upon our ears:
faces that are dust now, voices which
were hushed long ago-these are the
sights and these the sounds recalled by
the magic of Richard Goldens art.
