Famous New England Story on
the Stage.

About three years ago, "Quincy Ad-
ans sawyer a story Of New England
life, by Charles FELTON, Pidgin. made
it's appearance in attractive book form.
Directly it achieved enormous popu.
larity. Everybody was reading It and
talking about 1t. The sales continued
for a year with no abatement. About
that time the parties concerned IN the
book saw in the story all the elements
Of a successful play. To be sure 1t
lacked a william, q ruined girl, a lost
will, a mortgage and a cruel uncle,
but it contained plenty of types OF
people all distinct and natural. And
90 the dramatization was made.
If the book was successful the play
was doubly so. Houses crowded to
the doors marked its every appearance.
1.-THE very best New England play
ever SEEM" was the universal YER
dict.
The play closely follows the book.
No attempt was made to enlarge on
the plot. Quincy Adams Sawyer
is a wealthy young Boston lawyer
who goes into the country for hi
health. He meets a blind girl whose
love he wins. Their courtship is the
main theme of the play, but 1t is no
on any one feature Of the drama tina
interest centres. for as far as love
making goes, there are six full-iedge'
love stories in progress all the time
It is the realistic portrayal of char
acter and scene that has won the pla,
its distinction. The world loves any
thing genuine.
1t is the j~olliest play ever written
The comedy scenes are strong an
many, and the tender seriousness 0
the sentimental portions being onl
sweet content and satisfaction IN
mixed with regret or sadness.
The play is equally popular every
where. In New York last season wher
it ran for five weeks the capacity {
the Academy Of Music was taxed |
its utmost.
Manager Waterman is to be congra'
j ulated on securing this great play Il
