The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-05-19
."In old New Hamnshire. on

Stock company will be produced for
the third and last time this (Wed-
nesday) evening. Most of the char
acters are quaint, homely and hu-
morous, even to the villain, an old,
cold-blooded hypocrite, who is much
more amusing than villainous. Miss
| Vincent, as sweet Helen Cory, the
folorn and homeless waif, cannot
fail to arouse the sympathy of any
audience, and shows this talented
| little lady in a role so entirely diff
ferent from any we have yet seen
her in, that we wonder where her
versatility is going to end. Mr..
Gardner as big hearted Jim, plain
good natured fellow with a rough
manner but a kindly heart, is one
of the most striking characters we
have seen him portray. The school
room scene in the third act is one
of the most excruciatingly funny
seen in a long time and several
specialties are introduced by men,
bers of the company.
