To many rcdCtta ol Ddfiu Alai uiu ollo
Of the very best things in the book was
the horse trade between David and the
pious Deacon Perkins. There was hunor
in wcstcotrs description of this piece OF
business that caused hearty laughter and
it was enjoyed possibly as much, II not
more than anything else in the book. In
the play which was made from the book
for william II. Crane this horse trade is
capitally shown. 1t comes early in the
comedy In fact Harum makes his first
appearance before Che audience as he
comes out of his barn after driving the
"bay hoss" or attempting to drive him
rather on the river road. The deacon
calls. brings the conversation around to
Davdd's new horse, and the shrewd old fol-
low has the animal brought out OF the
barn so that the deacon can look him
over. The scene IS always productive Of
much laughter and is enjoyed presumably
as much by David as by the audience for
the old fellow has been waiting to catch
the deacon who "once did him so brown, +"
to use his own words, that he was burned
in places and you could smell smoke
around him for some time" Another good
portion OF the book THAT is capltally pic
lured in the play is the Christmas dinner
in Aunt Pony's sitting room. In this Hoene
Harum tells the story Of his visit to the
circus, and Of his start in life and Crane
alternately plays upon the risiblities and
the symputhios Of his audience in the re-
cital Of It. Mr.. Crane is due at Grand
