s.Eben Holden" at EngIish's.

Edward T. Rose loosely constructed a
play with incidents from Irving Bachelors
novel Of "Eben Holden" but several feat
ures of it were found amusing by the per-
sons that saw it acted at Englishs yester-
day by T. NJ. Holland and his company.
Besides the fun, there was something seri-
Ously interesting, not in the doings of the
parsonage for whom the story named,
but in the attitude of David Brewer to-
ward his daughter. Hope Brewer and VIII
Brewer had been brought up together and
were separated only when Hope was sent
TO a seminary When she returned, a
young woman. there a natural strange
ness between her and her one-time play
mate. Her father quick to entertain
suggestion from woman friend, who lived
in New York city, that Hope should not be
permitted to slip into the rut of common
farm life, but should be given Oppor-
tunity TO rise to higher plane. Tempted
thus, the father made VIII promise that
he would not ask Hope to be his wife for a
year. In that year she should go TO New
York. and al the end of it. if she still felt
that the countryman was a fit mate for
her, the father would not object TO her
marriage with VIII.
The older man found soon afterward that
he had blundered and he earnestly re-
pented. 1t was too late then to prevent
but finally she and childhOOd'S sweetheart
came together. The dramatist did not
make out of the father the hard-hearted
old fellow that has been so exaSperat1ngly
unnatural and conspicuous in the stage
continuance labeled 1.-The rural melo@
drama"
Mr.. Holland caused Eben Holden to be an
affected even silly, old person at times,
but there were moments when he was con-
vincing. One of these was when Uncle
Eben, suffering from the fear that Will had
been killed in a battle of the civil war,
turned suddenly and beheld him alive and
well in the room and fell sobbing on his
shoulder.
Lucille Flaven was never insincere as
Hope Brewer. but acted with delightful
simplicity Pleasant truth also marked
