The Acndemy-"Home.s Sweet Home"

Local interest in the Academy of Music
and the excellent bills presented is stead
lily increasing, and capacity audiences are
in attendance almost nightly. This alone
is proof that a revival of melodrama is at
hand, and that theatregoers are realizing
its value as a form of entertainment in
these days Of pre- gression, when every
thing moves so swiftly, audiences soon
become bored with the tame, inactive
Stage story devoid Of dramatic cliInaNes
and stirring situations, and so 1t is that
mclodrama, the real foundation OF dra-
matte entertainment is again to the fore.
In Home Sweet Home, which the
Academy Of Music will offer as the biH
this week. Edgar Smith. the author, is
said to have drawn a vivid and interest
ing picture of life in Il little village of
New York State.
The characters are drawn from types
that are not too familiar in this part of
the country, and so a sense of novelty
surrounds them. The story is described
as one Of home life but around the
main theme the author has supplied many
l. ughable situations and thrilling dr@-
matte cllmaXcs.

pen of ono who has achieved success as
a comic opera lihrettist and writer OF bur

tells of the temporary supremacy OF vice
over virtue with the final victory of the
latter and its inevitable happy ending.

and plenty Of pathos, 50 with these attri-
