Keeping The Harvest. "

with their approval as a master of his Keeping The Harvest" "Reaping the Harvest" the attraction at ~McDonald's Theatre Monday and Tuesday, Is said to be one of those plays that IS a welcome visitor to any respect able community, in that it Is construct ed on the principle of purity and con- spicuous example to prove that the good honest effort to give the people of this country strong and beautiful play with out borrowi lg from the immoral receives its reward The Savannah News of recent date says of the play and company: ...s- Keeping the Harvest was the offer ing at yesterdays matinee and last night This is the first time Savannahians have had the opportunity of witnessing the production. The story is a good one. It is elevating, and the company is even- iy balanced and does the work cleverly. MT. Tom Fitch. the author. assun s the title role. He is a young New York CT. a relative of Clyde Fitch and has some half dozen plays which are now being put on. Reaping the Harvest is one of his latest. It concerns a young man. Donald Stewart, who. upon inherit ing large estate, without proper train- ing, launches business with an unscrup- ulous man as partner Failure is the nat ural end. Through the intrigue of his partner. following the crash. the young
 
 married, refuses Stewart and marries the partner. They come to grief. Stewart is a man with heart, and at last succe eds and becomes the husband of his sweet after all
 The play has just enough humo: to be interesting and 1t is not burdened with pathos It is one of the few pieces where It is always difficult to reproduce this character. Dialect differs so greatly in every part of the country. Even in our own State it is not the same. Miss Nellie Carmen is cast for Nanny Jimmy and portrays it well.
 MT. Rowe as Ma.cker, the villainous partner, was clever, as was Harold Shaw as Phillip Larken. the father-in- law. The sisters Louise and Grace Lar ken, by Miss Romaine and Miss Chapman, got about all there was to be gotten out of their parts.
 Among the rest who deserve mention are William Warren. James Grayson. Will liam Morton, J. D. Phillips and William Phinney."
