Proof Against Change Of Cast.
Denman Thompson's "The Old Home
steadN is proof against change OF cast.
Joshua Whitcomb is a character. not a
part, and whether Denman Thompson
plays the part or his successor, Edward
Snader, the auditor sees the same Uncle
Josh that the contemporary stage has
known for nearly quarter of q century
The lasting appeal of The Old Homestead
lies in the whole play, all the characters
and the general atmosphere. Keep that
atmosphere in the Swanzey fields at the
beginning and in the Swanzey kitchen
at the end; let Cy Prime, the Ganzey
boy, Aunt Matilda and all the rest 20 to
and fro in the old way; tell the tale ia
talk and action as il has been told these
many years; and the result is sure.
No child, that is child, wishes any
changes in the stories il loves; no more
do the audiences who witness "The Old
Homestead" Familiarity as much as
anything else, has endeRred the piece to
every theatre goer. There is pleasure in
smiling at the joke before il is quite
rounded and feeling the eyes turn moist
in anticipation.
The present is the twenty-fourth season
OF the old play. In another year il will
have reached the quarter century mark.
and during ell these years the production
has been kept up to the very highest
standard of excellence from a scenic point
CT view as well as in its cast and in its
musical features. This season, we are
assured by the management, the singing
OF the famous double quartet of farm
hands and the rendition of "The Pslms'iin
the celebrated Grace Church scene, are
better than ever.
