The Old Homestead.

No play of New England life has yet
managed to capture the hearts of city and
country folks alike so effectualiy as ''The

are all lacking. What II successfully pur-
ports to be is character study, with
plenty of light and shade.
Denman THOMPSON as usual heads the
cast, in his familiar role of Joshua Whit

Burton Holmes. the eminent lecturer, has
won for himself most enviable reputation
in the east. This is his ninth season on the
platform. His love for travel and his
ability as an amateur photographer were
the primary causes of his adopting this
career. On the retirement of Mr.. John L.
Stoddard Mr.. Holmes Immediately stepped
into his shoes, as he was not only per-
sonal friend and admirer of Mr.. Stoddard.
but had on many occasions been his fellow
traveller in the remote corners Of the globe
Mr.. Holmes first eastern appearance was
five years ago at Days Theater, New
York, where he gave the celebrated Daly's
Lenten lectures, which prior to that time
had been given for nineteen years by Mr.
Stoddard himself. For those to whom the
pleasure of personal travel is denied there
can be no pleasanter way of seeing foreign
lands than by attending the Burton
Holmes lectures. BY means of the still
pictures beautifully colored, and with mo-
ton pictures taken on the spot by Mr..
Holmes and his assistants, his audiences
cover many miles Of travel and escape
many inconvenience and hardships. He
recently returned from his journey around
the world with mind and camera abundant
ly filled with the fruits of his travels In
