tinguished its metropolitan run. The
comedy is by the same author as The
Old Homestead. 1t is a humorous tale
of life in a small village. Hardscrab-
BILE is the name of the settlement in
the state of New Hampshire. The
humor of the play is evolved from the
quaint ways, sayings and doings of
a score of rustic characterizations. 1t
is very funny and amusing in the way
the story carries the folks through the
play: the ministerial element is the
least of the plays factors. The COM

quaint people of a small country town.
